• But that is just one half of Christianity. The other half of the story is that Christianity also spread east. The Gospel spread east of Israel, just as readily as it spread west of Israel into Europe. In fact, the Gospel message was taken very far east very quickly. The Gospel message was taken as far as India by as early as A.D. 52, where early congregations were established. It went even further, into China and Mongolia - again, very early on.
• Now, here is where it gets interesting. Most people in the west have absolutely no idea at all that Christianity spread east. It is an untold story. We are so familiar with our own world - with Christianity in the west - that we simply have no idea that the Gospel message spread very quickly to the rest of the known world.
