Before Christianization (the spread of Christianity):
Historical polytheism (the worship of or belief in multiple deities)
Historical paganism (denoting various non-Abrahamic religions )
Christianity developed in Judea in the mid-first century CE, based first on the teachings of Jesus and later on the writings and missionary work of Paul of Tarsus. Initially, Christianity was a small, unorganized sect that promised personal salvation after death. Jewish Christianity. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, Christianity first emerged as a sect of Judaism, which was practiced in the Roman province of Judea. The first Christians were all Jews, who constituted a Second Temple Jewish sect with an apocalyptic eschatol ogy.
While unified in its core beliefs, Christianity has evolved into three major branches: Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodox Christianity . The latter is divided into Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and the Church of the East. This diversity within unity reflects the rich and complex history of the Christian faith.
