The Advent of Christianity
29 January 2015
The Roman Empire was forever changed when they conquered Judea. Like all of the other areas that they had taken control of, the Romans attempted assimilation, which only aided in the changes in the Empire that would occur within the next few centuries. Christianity changed key aspects of the Roman Empire, specifically the social, cultural, and political environments that had been in place for so long.
The social changes that occurred were seen more through how the class system was viewed through the eyes of a Christian and the eyes of a Roman. For the Romans, there was a hierarchy system. There were slaves and there was more upper class type. In Christianity, a core value is that all men are equal and are on the same level no matter what you have or how much money you have; each life was worth the same.
