DBQ - Early Christianity in the Roman Empire

This entirely original DBQ includes 11 documents with analysis questions for students, along with a thorough teacher answer key. Documents are from carefully selected primary source excerpts, maps, images, and secondary source excerpts.

This information covers:

- the role of the Roman state religion, polytheism, and emperor worship

- the fundamental teachings and values of Christianity

- persecution of early Christians and why Christianity was threatening to Rome

- how and why Christianity spread so quickly and became so dominant

- Constantine's Edict of Milan and the religious policy shift in Rome

This DBQ can be used for an in-class lesson, assigned for homework, given as an essay, or used for Regents review.

Makes a great companion to my lessons Economic Decline of the Roman Empire and Decline of Rome: Diocletian and Constantine Attempt to Save the Empire
