Early Christianity



The arts nature and transmit the beliefs of the christian faith.
Early Christian style of art.  Christian recognized that art could help illustrate followers.  Art become an important instrument of theology.
When Christianity was made an official state religion, the need for churches arose.  Derived from the Roman basilica and was established by the fourth century.  Old St. Peter which destroyed in the fifteenth century.
Just a Jews believe they are God's chosen people and Muslims their holy book, the Qur'an is the word of God.  Christians believe Jesus is God  and savior, they will share eternal life with him in heaven.
One element of their faith is the belief that jesus rose from the dead after being crucified by the Romans.
Jesus was born in Judea a land under the political control of the Romans during the reign of the emperor Augustus.
The Public ministry of Jesus began when he was thirty years old, with the performance of his first miracle, the changing of water into wine, at the marriage feast of Cana.

 
Jesus Teaching can be reduced to two essentials:  to love God above all, and to love others as one loves oneself.
