Christianity-related movements  

Definición

  • The global trajectory of Christianity has been propelled not only by the missionary outreach of the main branches of the tradition but also by the many smaller movements related to it. Although from the beginning, the small Jewish sect of Christians in Palestine reached outward to include uncircumcised gentiles in the Mediterranean world, to absorb Greek terminology, and to embrace Roman culture, the historical emphasis on the northward movement of Christianity to Europe has obscured the importance of global Christian movements in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
