早期的基督教在希腊化的罗马帝国中从一个城市传播到另一个城市，并扩展到东非和南亚。最初的教会社区是由非洲北部，小亚细亚，亚美尼亚，阿拉伯，希腊和其他地方的使徒和许多其他基督徒士兵，商人和传教士建立的。在使徒教会后，主教成为城市基督徒人口的监督者，神职人员的等级逐渐形成了episkopos（监督者，插入者和主教一词的起源）和长老（长老;以及牧师一词的起源，然后是执事（仆人）。保罗，彼得，约翰和裘德的信都证明了教会内部和领主之间的冲突。

 

Early Christianity spread from city to city in the Hellenized Roman Empire and beyond into East Africa and South Asia. The original church communities were founded by apostles and numerous other Christian soldiers, merchants, and preachers in northern Africa, Asia Minor, Armenia, Arabia, Greece, and other places.  In the post-Apostolic church, bishops emerged as overseers of urban Christian populations, and a hierarchy of clergy gradually took on the form of episkopos (overseers, in-spectors; and the origin of the term bishop) and presbyters (elders; and the origin of the term priest), and then deacons (servants).The letters of Paul, Peter, John, and Jude all testify to intra-Church conflicts over both leadership and theology.
