Ch. 10 Christendom

In the very introduction of the chapter, it begins with a very typical Christian sense of community. It tells about Yao Hong moving to a Christian community in Shanghai and finding it to be the most comfortable and even patriotic.

She became one of the few who have made the move to Christianity in China. But it wasn't just in China, but also other parts in the world like in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It seem to become one of the most dominate religions in the world. I wonder was is that?

Could it be from the fact the Roman Empire's beginning to collapse gave a new opening for new beliefs and ideas? Did people decided to change faith to something that they may believe to be the "new answer"?

Soon enough the Western Roman Empire collapsed and the Justinian's began to rule the Byzantine Empire. Later on the new emperor is Charlemagne, takes rule of Roman Empire.
