The undoubted proximity of the original Christianity to the Jewish community of Essen is evidenced by the scrolls found in 1947 in the area of the Dead sea. The commonality of worldview principles among the Essenes and the original Christians can be traced in messianism-expectations of the imminent coming of the teacher of righteousness, in eschatological concepts, in the interpretation of the ideas of human sinfulness, in ritual, in the organization of communities and the attitude to property. The relatively rapid spread of Christianity in the Asia minor provinces of the Roman Empire and in Rome itself was due to a number of socio-historical factors.

The beginning of the crisis of ancient orders gave rise to General uncertainty about the future, a sense of apathy and hopelessness. The antagonism increased, not only between slaves and freemen, but also between the Roman citizens and the subjects of the provinces, between the Roman hereditary nobility and the enriched horsemen. The Roman religion, like the various religious teachings of the East, could not give comfort to the destitute, and because of its national character did not allow to assert the idea of universal justice, equality, salvation. Christianity proclaimed the equality of all men as sinners. The emergence of religious beliefs among believers and was the main prerequisite for the emergence of Christianity. Also a significant role in the formation and development of early Christian beliefs played religious syncretism, as well as some philosophical ideas.

Initially, Christianity appeared as a movement of the oppressed: it appeared first as a religion of slaves and freedmen, the poor and disenfranchised, conquered and scattered by Rome peoples. Christianity proclaimed the equality of all men as sinners. It gave the slave comfort, the hope of obtaining freedom in a simple and understandable way-through the knowledge of the divine truth, which Christ brought to earth to forever atone for all human sins and vices.
