Abraham• Abraham lived around 2000 B.C.E in a city called Ur in Mesopotamia (now Iraq). In Abraham’s time people worshipped many gods. Abraham, however, believed in one god, called Yahweh.
• Abraham and his wife Sarah went to Canaan (now Israel). Yahweh made a covenant (agreement) with him, Abraham would have many descendants who would live in Canaan (which they called the Promised Land) if Abraham remained faithful to Yahweh.

• Jewish people are also sometimes known as Israelites or Children of Israel, after Abraham’s grandson.
• Traditionally, everyone born of a Jewish mother is a Jew, whether they actively participate in the religion or not.

Moses• The Jewish people did not live in their Promised Land forever, as they
had hoped.
• Around 1300 B.C.E. they had to move to Egypt in search of food during a time of famine.
• There they became slaves of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
• They were freed by a Jewish man named Moses, and again headed back towards the Promised Land (Book of Exodus in the Bible).
• Yahweh gave Moses his commandments on top of Mount Sinai.
• They finally arrived and settled in Canaan, building a temple in which to worship Yahweh in the city of Jerusalem.

• At first the Romans didn’t make the Jews worship Roman gods, but did make the Jews pay taxes instead. They still had to follow Roman rule.
• By 66 C.E. Jewish discontent with Roman rule resulted in rebellion.
• Roman forces captured Jerusalem and destroyed the Jewish temple. Growing numbers of Jews left Judea.

How did the Romans treat Christians?
• Christians remained a small community under Roman rule and met in secret

Empire!

Symbols of Christianity
![Page 39: Judaism and Christianity](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110211/56813400550346895d9af5df/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
In spite of persecution, Christians grew in numbers rapidly. Christians actively looked for converts. They told others about the benefits of being Christian. Christians came from every walk of life in ancient Rome, but Christianity had great appeal to Rome's poor.
• Life After Death: Christianity promised life after death in heaven. In the Roman religion, only gods went to heaven. Emperors were considered gods. Everyone else went to the underworld.
• Equality: Christianity promised equal opportunity. You could join Christianity and be equally a Christian. In the Roman Empire you had to be born into the nobility.
After nearly 300 years of persecution, in 313 CE, Emperor Constantine ruled that Christianity was legal and that Christians would no longer be persecuted for their beliefs. This does not mean that Rome finally had religious freedom. It meant only that it was now legal to worship Roman gods or to be Christian. Every other religion was still illegal. The lack of religious freedom in ancient Rome contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire.
