• While the map, and the articles, are no doubt historically accurate and not wrong, it is strikingly notable that the map is just one half of the story.
• The map, after all, is supposed to show the history of early Christianity, how Christianity spread outwards from Apostolic times. Did you spot anything wrong, or strange, about this map?
• Well, it only shows Christianity spreading west - that is, through Turkey (Asia Minor) into Europe, as far as Britain. Did Christianity not spread anywhere else? Was there an Iron Curtain that stopped Christianity spreading in any other direction? Was there a Berlin Wall that stopped the apostles and disciples going in any direction other than west? Did a barbed wire fence thousands of miles long prevent them going east? Did their legs suddenly stop working if they walked east? Was west the only direction they could travel?
