Summary/Abstract: With the occurrence of Christianity as a religious model, a new culture of living emerged in the social movements and relations. This milestone was marked at the beginning of the new world era projecting the tradition of the Christian civilization for over two millenniums and two decades. The affirmation of the spiritual distance from the Judean and pagan philosophy and culture took a very long period of time after the first three-century-long establishment of Christianity. However, it is during this so-called Apostolic Age that the books of the New Testament Bible were produced and recognized as canonical, which laid the foundation for the oral Christian tradition and teaching. The perseverance and avant-garde of Christian religious beliefs and philosophical systematization gradually opened an ideological void in Roman society, and the dominant pagan world had found itself in a disastrous phase of moral and ideological erosion. New revived spiritual and ideological tendencies have influenced the announcement of the political collapse of the Roman Empire and the departure from history of the already long-gone Roman civilization and culture. Prior to the new era which stressed the need for interpretation of ideas, it was only Christianity that could satisfy the ideal of interpersonal equality and a more peaceful life in the future world of diversity and similarity.
