Christianity in the Roman Empire Christianity in the Roman Empire Origins of Christianity Jews had considerable independence in the Hellenistic era but by A.D. 6 Judea was under Roman rule directed by an official called a procurator. The Sadducees promoted cooperation, the Pharisees promoted adherence to the Jewish belief system. Essenes kept to themselves and the Zealots promoted violent overthrow. Jewish revolt in A.D. 66 was put down hard by Romans and the Jewish temple in Jerusalem destroyed. Christianity was spawned from Judiaism. Both religions are monotheistic (belief in one God) and both worship the same God. However, some Jews embraced a man called Jesus (born c. 4 BC) as their Mesiah (Savior) and the completion of prophecies associated with Judiaism. Jesus preached that “his mission was to complete the salvation that God had promised Israel…” He taught “humility, charity, and love towards others.” Jewish leaders ultimately turned him over to the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate who had him crucified. After his death (c. 33 AD) Jesus’ followers “proclaimed he had risen from the dead and appeared to them”. “They believed Jesus to be the Messiah (anointed one), the long expected deliverer who would save Israel from its foes.” He claimed his objective was to fulfill God’s law which in part says love God with all your heart, mind, and soul and “love your neighbor as yourself”. He focused on “ethical concepts – humility, charity, and love towards others” These concepts helped shape the value system of Western civilization. One huge difference in Judiasm and Christianity is that those embracing Christianity believed that a relationship with Jesus and God was for everyone, not just Jews. Spread Paul was a highly educated Jew who happened to be a Roman citizen and a Christian convert. He spread the message of Jesus throughout Asia Minor (present day Turkey) and along the shores of the Aegean Sea. He preached that Jesus was the “Savior, the Son of God who had come to Earth to save humanity.” He taught that “Jesus’ death made up for the sins of all humans. He also taught that by accepting Jesus as Christ and Savior, people could be saved from sin and reconciled to God.” The New Testament (second part of the Christian Bible) is thought to be based on some of Jesus’ sayings, and letters/epistles written by his apostles and disciples. By the year 100 AD, there were Christian churches in large parts of the eastern Roman Empire with most members being from the Jews and the Greek speaking populations. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries there were an increasing number of Latin-speaking Christians. Persecution Initially Christians went essentially unnoticed by the Romans. Ultimately, their drfusal to worship state gods and appointed emperors was seen as treason. The Roman Emperor Nero (AD 54-68) accused Christians of setting a large fire that destroyed much of Rome. Many Christians were subjected to cruel deaths. By the 2nd century persecution had diminished. Tolerance and Triumph of Christianity Treatment of Christians in the Roman empire vacillated between persecution and tolerance based on location and leadership. In 313 the first Christian emperor, Constantine, issued the Edict of Milan proclaiming official tolerance of Christianity. Emperor Theodosiu the Great (reigned 378-395) adopted Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire Decline of the Roman Empire Politics and Society By 287 BC all adult male Roman citizens were supposed to be considered equal under the law but there was no place in politics for the average person. Wealthy Romans (both Patrician and Plebian) dominated politics and ordinary citizens were being oppressed (unjust treatment or control). Attempts at land reform (redistribution of land from large owners to those without or with very little) were met by violence from the Senate. As aristocrats squeezed out small farmers and enlarged their own estates. These former small farmers became reliant on the large estates basically tied to the land. Some of the former small farmers migrated to the city giving us an early example of urbanizsation (in this case, people moving from the country side to the city). Slavery was more rampant in Rome than in any other ancient civilization. Most slaves came from conquered societies. Many slave owners believed it was eaiser to replace a slave than to treat him/her well. With an abundance of slaves to do the work, technological development was likley inhibited. The Roman’s attitude towards slaves resulted in numerous revolts, most notibly one lead by a gladiator slave named Spartacus. He led an uprising of 70,000 slaves but was ultimately killed in 71 BC. 6,000 his followers were subsequently crucified. Rome was a patriarchal society but Roman women were considered to be citizens. Although women were citizens they were not allowed to vote. However, they held a much higher place in society than did their Greek conterparts. Many common city dwellers worked, but many more relied on handouts from the emperor. Living conditions for the poor in the city of Rome were dismal. The city of Rome’s infrastructure (the basic equipment, structures and organization needed for the operation of a country, state, municipality, or other organization. Examples include roads, bridges, power lines, water reservoirs, sewage systems, cell towers, internet service providers, and public saftey) was inadequate for its approximate 1 million population. Sewage and garbage were arbitraryly disposed of, violent crime was common, housing was cramped, and structural fiers were common. Even though Rome prided itself on being a republic, in reality (at this statge) it was nothing more than an oversized oligarchy ruled by wealthy land owners. The bulk of society (small farmers) were being driven off their land and essentially becoming servants to large land owners. Mistreated slaves were ubiquitous (everywhere, apparent, present) and rebelling against their captors. Unemployeed city dwellers were sapping government funds and the quality of life in the city of Rome was poor at best. Military As the politics of Rome disintegrated the influence of military men increased. Origianlly, only landowerns could participate in military operations. Serving in the military was popular as the commanders and his men were allowed to profit from the spoils of territory they conquered. Commanders also acted as the ruling government offical of conquered areas. Generals began to enlist landless urbanites and rural poor with promises of land. To follow through on their promises they had to get involved in politics. Conflict between a triumvirate (three rulers) escalated into Civil war. Eventually Julius Caesar prevailed as dictator of Rome in 45 BC. He had grand plans for the empire but was assassinated by a group of senators in 44 BC. The Second Triumvirate consisted of (Augustus) Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus. Within a few Years it came down to Antony and Octavian. Octavian defeated Anthony in the battle of Actium in Greece 31 BC. Antony retreated with Cleopatra to Egypt where they committed suicide a year later. Beginning around AD 100, there were five, so called, good emperors the last dying in AD 180. They adopted and appointed good men for succession providing for smooth transition of power. They further weakened the senate, catered to the ruling classes, but also took care of domestic issues to help perpetuate the kingdom. This time period constitutes the later stage of what is known as the Pax Romana (Roman Peace) which begin in AD 27 with the assention of Octavian (Agustus) and the end of the civil wars. Trajan created a program to use state funds for helping parents raise and educate their children. Popular building programs also occurred during this time. “aqueducts, bridges, roads, and harbor facilities”. Subsequently leadership went to essentially whoever had the military might. From 235-284 there were 22 emperors. Decline and Fall Emperor Diocletian (284 -305) divided the empire into units for better administration. His successor (Constantine- 305- 337) prevailed as the sole ruler in 324 AD and moved the Roman capital to the Greek city of Byzantium on the shores of the Bosporus. The city was renamed Constantinople and is contemporary Istanbul, Turkey. It is thought the economy and the empire began to collapse due to 1) invasions, 2) civil wars, and 3) the plague. There was a food shortage due to lack of production, raids from invaders, and raids from Roman soldiers. The military declined due to lack of money to pay soldiers. The Huns and the Germanic tribes began to invade Rome from the north. The Vandals (Germanic tribe) moved through Spain to northern Africa. In 476 the Western Roman Empire fell with the removal of Romulus Augustus as emperor. Other ideas for the fall include: dilution of Roman race, lead poisoning from water pipes and cups, and lack of technology due to slavery. .

THE DATES OF OUR WRD'S LIFE AND MINISTRY. By THE REV. JOHN STEWART, Ph.D. HERE are only three dates in our Lord's Life regarding T which the Scriptures give any definite information, but these are quite sufficient for our purpose. They are (1) The date of the Nativity; (2) The date when He began His public ministry ; and (3) The date of the Crucifixion. As regards the first of these the information given enables us to determine the year with practical certainty, the month and the day can be arrived at only approximately. The second is closely related to the time when John the Baptist began his work as forerunner, a year which is definitely known. How soon after John's appearance our Lord began His ministry is somewhat uncertain.

  • The Persecution of Christians in the First Century
    JETS 61.3 (2018): 525–47 THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN THE FIRST CENTURY ECKHARD J. SCHNABEL* Abstract: The Book of Acts, Paul’s letters, 1 Peter, Hebrews, and Revelation attest to nu- merous incidents of persecution, which are attested for most provinces of the Roman empire, triggered by a wide variety of causes and connected with a wide variety of charges against the fol- lowers of Jesus. This essay surveys the twenty-seven specific incidents of and general references to persecution of Christians in the NT, with a focus on geographical, chronological, and legal matters. Key words: persecution, mission, hostility, opposition, Jerusalem, Rome, Peter, Paul, Acts, Hebrews, Revelation This essay seeks to survey the evidence in the NT for instances of the perse- cution of Jesus’ earliest followers in their historical and chronological contexts without attempting to provide a comprehensive analysis of each incident. The Greek term diōgmos that several NT authors use, usually translated as “persecu- tion,”1 is defined as “a program or process designed to harass and oppress some- one.”2 The term “persecution” is used here to describe the aggressive harassment and deliberate ill-treatment of the followers of Jesus, ranging from verbal abuse, denunciation before local magistrates, initiating court proceedings to beatings, flog- ging, banishment from a city, execution, and lynch killings. I. PERSECUTION IN JUDEA, SYRIA, AND NABATEA (AD 30–38/40) 1. Persecution in Jerusalem, Judea (I).

  • When Was Jesus Born? a Response to a Recent Proposal
    When Was Jesus Born? A Response to a Recent Proposal Lincoln H. Blumell and Thomas A. Wayment Editor’s note: We are pleased to publish this article, which pushes forward the con- versation about what is known and not known about the dating of the birth of Jesus Christ. This article responds to the article by ProfessorJeffrey R. Chadwick on this subject, which appeared in 1 in our volume 49, number 4, available on the BYU Studies website. The goal of the Chadwick article was to harmonize as much of the evidence, both scriptural and historical, as possible, sometimes using new or uncommon interpretations in order to reconcile apparent dispari- ties in the sources. By contrast, Professors Wayment and Blumell prefer a more cautious approach, placing less weight on positions that cannot be established with historical or textual certainty. While both of these articles agree on many points, this new analysis urges readers to adopt a less precise time frame in think- ing about when the birth of Jesus might have occurred. We welcome this rigorous and respectful give-and-take, and we hope that all readers will enjoy drawing their own conclusions about the evidences and approaches advanced by both of these articles. etermining an exact date (year, month, and day) for many events from Dantiquity is fraught with difficulties and challenges. Though modern society tends to implicitly associate “important” events with a specific date (or dates), like September 11, 2001, or December 7, 1941, ancient societies did not always feel compelled to remember such events by reference to the actual date on which they occurred.

ROMA SURRECTA: Portrait of a Counterinsurgent Power, 216 BC - AD 72 Abstract This study evaluates the military history and practice of the Roman Empire in the context of contemporary counterinsurgency theory. It purports that the majority of Rome’s security challenges fulfill the criteria of insurgency, and that Rome’s responses demonstrate counterinsurgency proficiency. These assertions are proven by means of an extensive investigation of the grand strategic, military, and cultural aspects of the Roman state. Fourteen instances of likely insurgency are identified and examined, permitting the application of broad theoretical precepts

    IS CHRISTIANITY A FRAUD? A Preliminary Assessment of the Conder Thesis third edition By Eric V. Snow AUTHOR'S PREFACE/ABSTRACT This essay defends the New Testament as historically accurate, as not being dependent for its doctrinal content on pagan religions and philosophy, and as having properly used the messianic texts of the Old Testament. It attacks Darrell Conder's Mystery Babylon and the Ten Lost Tribes in the End Time, which advocates conversion to some type of Judaism. This document was originally in WordPerfect 5.1 format for Windows 3.1, with elite (12 point) type and six lines of text per vertical inch, with footnotes. I wish to thank John Wheeler, a Global Church of God laymember who can read Hebrew, for his assistance on interpreting the messianic prophecies.
