How did a small Judaic sect transform into the world's largest religion?
In short: Christianity began with a handful of followers but now claims the largest global congregation. This video charts the 2,000-year evolution of the faith, mapping its expansion through major conversions, missions, conquests, and schisms from the crucifixion to the present day.
The growth of Christianity is considered one of history's most remarkable developments. Starting as a minor Judaic sect, the religion underwent a massive transformation over two millennia to become the most popular faith on Earth.
The video utilizes an animated globe and timeline to visualize this spread, documenting the pivotal moments that shaped its trajectory. Historical oversight for this exploration was provided by Professor David Parnell of Indiana University Northwest.
