' The name of delivery boy (from the Septuagint word ââ¬Å"Anointed Oneââ¬Â or ââ¬Å"Messiahââ¬Â) backside non be treated like scarce a symbol, itââ¬â¢s the name of our soul. Christianity, in its turn, has pass not only the one of numerous pivotal periods in the chronicle of humanity but the virtually blessed period in our history. But as any historical and ideological period Christianity and the chief(prenominal) stages of its using has always been an object of great cadence of works and discussions. And it could not be in different way as speaking about Christianity we compressed the historical phenomena of global importance, we mean the Faith whose following are millions of people in the contemporary world. Justo Gonzales is one of few who managed to present a very capable and detailed picture of the preparation for primaeval Christianity.\r\nIn the ââ¬Å"The Story of Christianityââ¬Â by Gonzales the preparation for Early Christi anity is not only highlighted in strict connection with the history of those times but is given without any face-to-face judgments of the author. The depression chapter of ââ¬Å"The Story of Christianityââ¬Â is called ââ¬Å"The fullness of timeââ¬Â and that is a very suitable name. The birth of Christianity took place in the times when the ideological and geographical situation was rightfully ââ¬Å"fullââ¬Â. Gonzalez does not judge any doctrines or events- he just gives a detailed analytical synthesis of Early Christianity exploitation starting from the first years of existence of Christianity up to the end of renewal area.\r\n The birth of Christianity has bring forth the most out rest period in the history of this religious menstruation of millions. The ancient science of Rome gave to the first root of Christianity which got powerful development later on coming of Christ. The single minds of Roman Empire had already proclaimed partially wha t Christ brought with him then, just in their pagan adaptation it was not well finished and explained. Socrates and Plato already had communicate in their works about the life after death and Socrates proved in his believe in life after death by judge death voluntarily.\r\nââ¬Å"Platoââ¬â¢s teacher, Socrates, had been condemned to death as an skeptical corruptor of youth. ââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬Â (Gonzalez 1984, 16) â⬠that was his punishment for declaring philosophy which was claimed as destructive. The further development was unavoidable. The borders of Roman Empire have not become an insuperable obstacle for Christianity. And that is quite reasonable: ââ¬Å"ââ¬Â¦ Since switch over flourished, travel was constant; thus Christianity often reached a new region, not through the work of missionaries or preachers, but rather through traveling traders, slavesââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬Â (Gonzalez 1984, 14).\r\nWith the development of empires new and news areas got under influence of Christ ianity. Nevertheless, we must point out the one of the main sources which helped Christianity to flog the field of the Roman Empire â⬠Judaism has become a cradle of Christianity, it has become a launching program for its early period: ââ¬Å"The Early Church Diaspora Judaism For centuries beforehand the birth of Jesus, the number of Jews living away from paradise had been increasingââ¬Â (Gonzalez 1984, 12).\r\nIn his book Gonzalez pays special guardianship to Judaism. There were many different establishments among Judaism (the Zealots, the Essenes, etc.), some of these currents of Judaism being the synthesis of ancient pagan faith and Hellenic culture. But precisely these initial roots were awaiting for the blessed Word of Christ to grow up and dominate the boards of long-suffering Palestine.\r\n Bibliography\r\nGonzalez, Justo.
