Christianity's Deep Change Catalysts
Christianity's deep change catalysts involve a shift in normative beliefs brought by the Christian gospels and Pauline letters, particularly highlighting radical egalitarianism and emphasizing sexual morality. This emphasis on sexual ethics, not prominent in other moral teachings like Stoicism, combined with the belief that everyone, regardless of status, is created in the image of God, shapes Christian morality. Additionally, the societal conversion of Christianity, from a persecuted minority to a mainstream movement with influential leaders and diverse followers, contributes to a unique reflection on morality and theology previously unseen.
