UNIT OVERVIEW
This unit examines the growth of the Church, which began with a small group of fearful disciples and within a few hundred years of the first Pentecost, had become a worldwide religion. It describes Paul's role as the 'Apostle to the Gentiles', and examines the men and women in Scripture who were the first Christian missionaries. The unit identifies the core beliefs worked out at the Council of Jerusalem. Students examine why the early Christians were persecuted, and the consequences of Constantine's conversion to the Christian faith.
