A Chronology of Christianity the early church

Abstract

The Christian ideal, before the nineteenth century, was lived by very few, but in the last two centuries it can say of the Christian religion, as a life lived by large popular majority, which has led to many Christian experience, as Feuerbach proposes:

"Christ is the omnipotence of subjectivity, it is the heart that has been freed from all the bonds and laws of nature, the feeling that has focused only on itself excluding from itself the world, is the satisfaction of all desires, the ascension to the heavens of fantasy, the Easter of Resurrection of the heart. In Christianity man concentrated solely on himself, he subscribed to the concatenation of the universe, it was no longer considered a part, but a self-sufficient whole, an absolute being, external and superior to the world. felt an infinite being. and lost reason to be the doubt about the truth and validity of his subjective desires and feelings." (L'Essenza del Cristianesimo, Universale Economica Feltrinelli, Milan, 1980, p. 164).

Our time is what it is, thanks to this Christian humanism, before it is alien to the most believers, except in the first communities that lived to the expectation of pariah in their own time; apart from these two epochs, the initial and today, the development of the Christian religion has been alien to the message of freedom and supremacy of the spirit of man, and that I intend to show, with this essay and later: how Christians lived their faith and how they influenced the society in which they lived.
