They thought of themselves as part of the Jewish community, whose principles were only slightly modified. Even the name, meaning "anointed ones," was given to them from outside; they called themselves brothers. Gradually, Christianity transformed into what it is today: the largest religion in the world with an impressive structure, wealth, and influence. My guest, Prof. Robert Wiśniewski, discusses possible reasons for Christianity's success. The basis for this conversation is one of the first three books by RN Publishing House, a new project of Radio Naukowe, of which I am incredibly proud. Prof. Wiśniewski wrote it especially for us, and it is titled "Christians of the First Centuries. Volume I: Faithful, Bishops, Hermits." Volume II is in preparation. Little is known about the first followers of Jesus. Even those who described his life and work, the four evangelists, lived much later than he did. "We can say with a fair degree of probability that none of them were direct witnesses to these events," says Professor Wiśniewski. We know that the first followers (like Jesus) spoke Aramaic, lived in Galilee (in what is now northern Palestine), and were likely drawn to a new kind of religiosity. The emotional relationship between humanity and divinity was important in this, a theme also evident in other new cults of the period. Quite quickly, after only a few decades, Greek became the language of Christianity. This enabled the teachings to spread throughout almost the entire known world at the time, meaning the Mediterranean basin. Specifically, in the cities of this region. "Until late antiquity, we don't see Christianity spreading beyond the city walls," the historian points out. The new religion spread primarily from one port city to another, along the coasts of Asia Minor and the Balkan Peninsula, until it reached Rome. Christianity aroused hostility among the Romans. On the one hand, because of its otherness. It was easy to blame all misfortunes on those who did not worship the gods in familiar, time-tested ways. Monotheism, the lack of strict rules of worship, abandoning one's ancestral faith and establishing one's own – such practices were considered detrimental to the community. However, Christians were not the only ones persecuted. At various times in the Roman Empire, the same fate befell, for example, followers of Isis and Manichaeans. In this episode, you'll also hear why historians still have something new to say about Christianity, whether Christianity was truly a religion of the poor and disadvantaged, and why the Romans believed that Christians hated people and were… atheists.
