From its inception, the predominant method of evangelizing has been through preaching or word of mouth. This method of dissemination, alongside the illiterate majority of the population, could create some potential chaos when paired with charismatic figures preaching interpretations of the gospel. Even though Christianity had been established within the Roman Empire as the main form of religious practice, beginning with emperor Constantine and made official by Theodosius I, there were still many who were caught in false doctrine.In the article Ambrose Bishop of Milan, the exact scenario described above is presented. When Sarmatio and Barbatianus, a pair of apostate monks, begin to preach their views on Christianity, which is wildly different from the core ideals of the “church,” St. Ambrose writes to the Christians of Vercellae in hopes to inform them of such issues.As the Christian faith continued to develop, their tenets, guidelines, or laws began to change and shape ancient Roman culture to a different direction that had previously been taken. In the document Medieval Sourcebook: The Codex Theodosianus: On Religion, 4th Century CE, we can see how drastic these changes were. While many of these changes were steps in the right direction for a better society, it’s believed, it also stands that many Christians and non-Christians alike had to adapt to these changes imposed on them. It is clear that today that sacrifices and gladiators fighting to the death was probably not the right choice for a more civilized society. However, those changes also came with a heavy cost on the people that were not interested in following the Roman Catholic religion, and they had no choice but to change or be penalized.Classmate 2 (Karson)The development of almost any religion anywhere at any time in history is often controversial, especially over Christianity and Judaism. The first provided document, Eusebius: The Conversion of Constantine, begins to question the standard Roman ways of religion. Once Constantine questions beliefs,, he begins to be curious over Christianity and then sees visions he believed to be from the Christian God that Contstatine interpreted as a promise of his protection if he chooses to convert. The actions that Constatine took are incredibly significant to the development of Christianity in Europe because it shows a figure with a lot of governmental power openly accepting the Christian God. By openly accepting the Christian God over the Roman Gods show the Christians that times are changing and that it could be okay for the average person of Rome to be Christian. Furthermore, the documents titled Galerius and Constantine: Edicts of Toleration 311/313 show first toleration and then even more of a shift towards acceptance. In the first part of the document from Galerius in 311, he states that “this our indulgence, they ought to pray to their God for our safety, for that of the republic, and for their own, that the republic may continue uninjured on every side, and that they may be able to live securely in their homes” (Galerius). At first one might take the comment by Galerius as sarcastic and baiting the Christians into seeing if their God “could deliver safety” but once the context is taken into account the comment is actually asking their help. Later in the document Constatntine goes to fully accept the Christian religion and its practices. As Constatine stated, that the Romans should grant the Christians “full authority to observe that religion which each preferred; whence any Divinity whatsoever in the seat of the heavens may be propitious and kindly disposed to us and all who are placed under our rule And thus by this wholesome counsel and most upright provision we thought to arrange that no one whatsoever should be denied the opportunity to give his heart to the observance of the Christian religion, of that religion which he should think best for himself, so that the Supreme Deity, to whose worship we freely yield our hearts may show in all things His usual favor and benevolence.” This quote stood out because what Constatine is talking about implementing is essentially freedom of religion which may be for selfish reasons but the point stands. Lastly, some of the remaining documents discus kings and prominent political figures fighting for, confessing, and bowing down for the Christian God. Just as with Constatine’s conversion, kings adopting Christian practices, faith, and religion means the same will be done for who and the country they are leading. Also, the document of the Life of Anskar, the Apostle of the North, 801-865 discusses Anskar who was a missionary trained in a montesary who began to have visions as early as five years old (Chap II). Having a monk who is still a regular man, not royalty or a preist, having visions shows the people that it could happen to anyone and that everyone who claims to be Christian should be living by the rules set forth. These events effected the Christianity in Europe by acting as a catalyst for its spread across the continent and the world.
