    THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY:


    Christianity was a
    monotheistic faith that
    developed out of

    a Jew named JESUS
    Was The Messiah.

    Religion in early

    2.Political: empire too large for one emperor to
    control
    3.Military: weak, less disciplined and not loyal
    4.Social: lost confidence in empire, more
    interested in personal gain than public Services
