	History of Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christianity continued to use the Jewish scriptures (the Tanakh became their Old Testament) and accept such fundamental doctrines of Judaism as monotheism (and thus, in turn, Judaism's sole deity Yahweh) and the belief in a moshiach (Hebrew term usually rendered "messiah" in English, which is equivalent to the term "Christ"—Christos in Greek).
		The core history of the Roman Catholic Church is said to extend in an unbroken timeline from this period.
		Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands; at the time of Jesus a large proportion of the Jewish population lived in Mesopotamia outside the Roman Empire, especially in the city of Babylon, where much of the Talmud was developed.

	Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Western Christianity in the Middle Ages was characterized by cooperation and conflict between the secular rulers and the Church under the Pope, and by the development of scholastic theology and philosophy.
		As the European Enlightenment took hold, Christianity was confronted with the discoveries of science (including the heliocentric model and the theory of evolution), and with the development of biblical criticism (linked to the development of Christian Fundamentalism) and modern political ideologies such as Liberalism, Nationalism and Socialism.
		Christian mobs, sometimes with government support, have destroyed pagan temples and oppressed adherents of paganism (such as the philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria, who was murdered by a Christian mob).

		Christianity brought from Judaism its scriptures (the Old Testament) and fundamental doctrines such as monotheism, and the belief in a moshiach (Hebrew term for messiah); this term is more commonly known as Christ (Christos in Greek).

		It is church history, yes, but church history with a difference: "church,"; we insist, is not to be understood first and foremost as the hierarchical-institutional-bureaucratic corporation; rather, above all it is the laity, the ordinary faithful, the people.
		And specialists in the history of ecclesio-political relations have sought to plumb the complexities of the church’s interface with its socio-political context, again almost exclusively by examining the relations between church leaders and political authorities.
		The history of Christianity understood as popular religion is, as a discipline, not precisely in its infancy but perhaps rather in early adolescence.

	Boundless-A True History of Christianity
		Christianity, it was said, launched endless bloody wars ("More people have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ than any other name in the history of the world," author Gore Vidal said.
		For the first millennium or so, despite all the wars raging around them, Christians either resisted participation in warfare (the first three or four centuries) or accepted it with moral conditions unfamiliar to the warlike world of the era in which conquest needed no ethical or ideological justification.
		What's most significant is that the idea of Holy War didn't stick among Christians; it went largely dormant for centuries, was resurrected for a time in European religious wars between Christians and eventually provoked a backlash that began a Christian movement toward tolerance in Europe and spread to the American colonies.

		Christianity, as it developed from that day, is: the fact of God as the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, in association with the experience of believer-fellowship with the risen and glorified Christ.
