On this map notice the extent of the main Roman roads connecting cities. Imperialistic as it was, Rome's grip on civilization allowed far-reaching and safe travel throughout the known Western world. This is the world of Christ and St. Paul. And it was on these relatively safe and far-reaching roads, protected by Roman legions, that the Gospel spread. From the Middle East and North Africa, to Spain, France, and England, mighty Rome on the banks of the Tiber held the known Western world in the grip of her power. Ruler of the Western world though she was, pagan Rome, in the 1st century, was already a victim of religious syncretism—a bewildering hodgepodge of unknown divinities and arbitrary religious practices- which spread throughout the empire. This of course, made the empire ripe for Christianity where God was known, up close, personal, and in the flesh.
