Christianity took shape in the first century CE among Jesus’ followers within the Jewish setting of the Roman Mediterranean. Its early history involves territories now in Israel and Palestine, but modern borders should not be projected onto antiquity. Jesus is central to Christian faith; historical description also considers communities and texts forming over time.
