Notes on Christianity in the Pax Romana :
it all begins and ends with Jesus
the only written record of his life is the gospels (Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John)
Jesus taught that one must strive for perfection since God was perfect
born Jewish
Jesus hung out with people that others didn't want to hang around with
he was both human and divine
was accused as a threat to roman law and was crucified
Paul of Tarsus- a Jew, who became a follower of Jesus after he was healed of blindness on a road with Jesus
Paul believed in predestination- means that God chose who was saved and who was damned
well traveled, had money, told everyone and spread the news of Jesus
without Paul -the history of Jesus might have faded into history with all the rest
he communicated by letters, we still read these letters in mass today
