The Christian Religion
• Christianity, based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, urged followers to love God and one another.
• Though Jesus was executed under Roman rule, his message was carried throughout the empire by his followers.
• Early on, Christians were persecuted, but in the 300’s A.D., Emperor Constantine made it the official religion of the Empire.
• Today, Christianity is the largest religion in the world.
