Abstract: This study explores the origins and expansion of Christianity in Antioch, a major metropolis of the Roman Empire known for its cultural and religious diversity. The paper examines the initial introduction of Christianity by Judeo-Christians during the diaspora, highlighting the significant role of key figures such as the Holy Apostles Peter, Paul, and Barnabas. It delves into the establishment of the first Christian community in Antioch, the successful integration of Gentile converts, and the city’s role as a pivotal center for the spread of Christianity to the Gentile world. The study also discusses the Council of Jerusalem’s decisions on the inclusion of Gentiles and their implications for the Christian mission. Antioch is portrayed as a melting pot where new religious ideas, including Christianity, thrived, contributing to the city’s transformation into a hub for the dissemination of the Christian faith.
Keywords: Jesus Christ, Christianity, the Holy Apostle Peter, the Holy Apostle Paul, the Holy Apostle Barnabas, Church, Antioch.
