1. Christian History and Doctrine of the Universe
As Christianity and Jesus Christ are central figures to the resurrection theme in western culture, let’s first review Christianity before presenting the list of famous figures.
People often approach the history of Christianity as they do driving. They learn it once then assume they always know it. There's much about this religion which people either never knew or have forgotten. With that in mind, let's briefly recap the chronicle of Jesus, the early Christians and the Bible.
In 63 B.C., Roman General Pompey conquered Palestine.
After this bloody conquest, frustrated Hebrew priests began prophesying that a great spiritual leader would arise to liberate the battle weary Jewish people. Many declared themselves to be the messiah and began prophesying at markets and on street corners. Many false Christs
sprang up. Some developed a following, most did not.
Jesus started his ministry after visiting, and being baptized by, the popular John the Baptist. John prophesied that Jesus was the messiah.
Jesus' ministry was successful, primarily on the strength of his reputation for doing miracles.
Against the advice of his disciples, Jesus went to Jerusalem and, tragically, was crucified outside the city. A few days later, probably in Galilee, his disciples and others, claimed Jesus had risen from the dead and urged them to continue spreading his word.
The first several generations of Christians were largely driven on by their fanatical certainty of an impending Judgment Day.
They needed to spread the word to as many people as possible and as fast as possible. This burning desire provided much needed drive. Jewish authorities proved uninterested in them and often hostile, so they began increasingly spreading the word to non-Jewish people in the surrounding provinces and beyond.
The first post-Jesus Christian leader was St. Peter, which is one reason why the pope is said to have St. Peter's chair.
Around 44 AD, it appears James, probably a relative of Jesus, became leader. These very early Christians were called Jewish Christians
and still wholeheartedly considered themselves Jewish. That, however, was about to change. In 66 AD, the Jews revolted against Roman occupation. Though Jewish leaders asked for their aid in the revolt, the Jewish Christians
refused and fled Jerusalem. The Jewish priests felt betrayed and became more hostile towards the new Jewish Christians.
The Jewish revolt was brutally crushed by 70 AD, but a serious rift had been created between the
