    Roman Persecution

    • Roman authorities persecuted Christians for refusing pagan worship and acknowledging the emperor's divinity.
    • Christianity's expansion caused unease within the Roman Empire, seen as a threat due to its universal appeal compared to localized Jewish traditions.

    Internal Dynamics of the Church

    • Relationship between Church and state influenced community life, with dual authority between the papacy and empire.

    Medieval Church's Dark Ages
