In many ways similarly to how it is practiced in the house church movement in China today. People met in their homes for prayer, they thanked God for His blessings and they were taught the word of God by their leaders. No dedicated church buildings existed in those times. Churches were known as 'the church at John's house' - according to whoever was able to act as host. There were also works of charity done and organized for those in need, particularly as no social security system existed then. It was all much simpler and much less ritualistic.

What is the time period of the Patriarchs in the Bible?

The Bible does not say when Abraham was born, but estimates based on the biblical genealogies place his birth around 2000 BCE. Abraham supposedly lived to 175, his son Isaac to 180 and then Jacob lived to 147. Abraham had his second son, Isaac, at 100 years old. then Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born, so the three Patriarchs lived over a period of approximately 307 years according to the Bible.


What was the chronological order in which the major religions were founded?

Major Religions (that still exist in some form): Hinduism - 2000 BC Judaism - 1500 BC Zoroaster - 620 BC Janism - 600 BC Taoism - 580 BC Confusious - 550 BC Buddhism - 524 BC Christianity - 30 AD Shinto - 100 AD Islam - 570 AD Sikhism - 1530 AD Baha'u'llah - 1890 AD These are all approximate dates (especially pre-Christian) and hotly disputed, bnu the chronology is pretty much right. When does a religion start? On the birth of the "holy man"? With his/her first convert? After death? First "church"? See, it can be difficult to pin a tail on such a donkey.

How many years between Abraham and Joshua?

The time of Abraham (in The Bible) was estimated by scholars to be some time between 2000 BC and 1850 BC. Abraham died at the age of 175 years. (Gen 25:7), which would be between 1820 BC and 1675 BC. Biblical scholars calculated the time that Joshua led Israel into land of Canaan around 1240 BC at which time he would have been around 60 years old (ca. 1300 BC). Joshua died at the age of 110 (Joshua 24:29). So, between the death of Abraham and the birth of Joshua was about 400 years.
