Geography of Christianity

Christianity originated in the 1st century CE in the Middle East, specifically in Judea (modern-day Israel/Palestine). Over the centuries, it spread throughout Europe, particularly after becoming the state religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century. Today, it has a diverse global presence, with significant populations in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia. Different regions have unique denominations and practices, influenced by local cultures. Understanding the geography of Christianity involves recognizing these historical expansion patterns and the ongoing growth in particular areas, especially in Africa and Asia.
