论早期基督教发展的社会道德原因

On the Social Ethics Reasons in the Early

本文以社会道德为出发点,从社会心理学的角度,分析早期基督教迅速发展的原因。作者认为,基督教能够在罗马帝国的残酷镇压下不断发展的主要原因,是基督教填补了罗马帝国的“道德真空”,给予人民群众以强大的精神力量。因此,早期基督教发展最大的动力就是“深入民心”。

This article started from social ethics, from the view of social psychology, analyses the reason of rapid development of the early stage Christianity. In the autho＇s opinion, under the ruthless repression of Rome Empire, the chief reason that why Christianity can develop gradually is that Christianity added to the ＂vacuum of ethics＂ of Rome Empire, and gave the mass great spirit energy. Therefore, the motive force of the development of early stage Christianity is the striking root in the hearts of the people.
