Page "Christianity" Paragraph 42

A simplified chart of historical developments of major groups within Christianity.

However, one should note that Christianity was never a unified movement.

There were many diverse Christian communities with wildly different Christologies, eschatologies, soteriologies, and cosmologies that existed alongside the " Early Church " which is itself a projected concept to indicate which communities were " proto-orthodox ," in that their views would become dominate.

In many ways, the first three centuries of Christianity was significantly more diverse than modern Christianity.
