  6. 5. Why do you think the Christian church came to be ruled by a Hierarchy? • Answers may vary; Possible answer – the Roman Empire showed a successful way to unite different people in many places

  7. 6. Do you think the Christian religion would have spread so quickly if it had developed in a time other than that of the Roman Empire? • I believe it would have been harder to spread in a different time other that the Roman Empire. The Empire was so vast it was easy to spread information and ideas through. Secondly the use of trade routes helped in spreading Christianity.
