AnswerThe spread of Christianity in apostolic times was aided by the unity of the Roman Empire, the use of just two common languages (Latin and Greek) for commerce throughout most of the Roman Empire, and the excellent network of roads that the Romans had built.

What are St. Paul's three missions?

Paul's three missions included announcing the Gospel to non-Jews in places where it had never been heard, spread the Gospel to private homes, and to focus on urban centers so that the Gospel might spread from the communities he founded there, outwards to the rest of the country. Saint Paul is one of the most important figures in the Catholic Church.


Who can preach the gospel?

A born-again Christian may preach the gospel of Jesus Christ if he has read and studied the New Testament in the Bible. Historically, both the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul were the first to preach the gospel after the resurrection of Jesus. Peter preached to the Jews, Paul was sent by Jesus to preach the gospel to the Gentiles (non-Jews). Thereafter, ordinary Christians "gossiped the gospel" throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. Once the church became established in the Roman Empire, preaching of the gospel became the job of the "professional clergy". Nowadays, an increasing number of born-again Christians seek to preach the gospel in their family, workplace and community, since few nowadays attend church, and so will never hear the gospel otherwise.
