Thesis
Even though Christians were persecuted, the religion spread along the Roman Empire at a glance. This was due to the road system in Rome, the common languages spoken by the people and to the fact that anyone could convert to Christianity.
Road system
Romans had an amazing road system whose all the roads led to Rome
this aloud to the news to travel quickly
many people found out about the religion and just joined it
Roman roads transported information very quick
Language
the empire had bonds such as language that kept it strong
due to the language everyone was united and they could understand each other with ease
language help spread the religion
if there was no common language the ideas would travel too slow
because there was a common language everyone could understand each other
and the religion ideas spread quickly
Religion rules
one o the things Jesus wanted to change in Judaism was the idea of converting
Jews had to many laws about converting and people did not want ot bother with them
the religion was new and it allowed anyone who wanted to join
no class distinctions
Conclusion
anyone could become a Christian
it was easy to move around Rome
common languages, the ideas spread quickly
persecution makes a group stronger
impossible to destroy an idea
New idea
Christianity spread because it gave people hope, it was the only way to forget about the terrible things that were going on in the Empire
