1. Die Ersten 100 Jahre Des Christentums 30 130 N. Chr.
30–130 n. Chr.
A concise historical overview of Christianity’s first century (c. 30–130 CE), reconstructing how Jesus’ followers organized, spread, and diversified in the Mediterranean world. It examines the earliest sources—Pauline letters, Acts, and other traditions—to trace missionary activity, community structures, theological debates, relations with Judaism and Roman society, and episodes of conflict and persecution. The study highlights the pluralism of early Christian beliefs and practices and explains how these developments laid the groundwork for emerging orthodoxy, liturgy, and the formation of a distinct Christian identity.
