Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion.

Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion.
