Guest Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The Woof And Weave Of Conquest And Empire Just Before Our LORD's Birth Was, I Suspect Miraculously Designed By God For The Beginning Of The World-Wide Spread Of The Gospel After Pentecost And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 Another boon to the spread of the gospel which Rome did not begin but certainly aided was a universal language. The Greek language had been spread beyond its homeland by the conquests of Alexander the Great, "the apostle of Hellenism" (356-323 BC). It soon became the language of commerce , the courts, the educated people, and international communications. The Romans, who spoke Latin, were great admirers of Hellenistic culture and also acquired the use of Greek in international relations. Greek, as a common language, also greatly facilitated the spread of the gospel. The entire New Testament was written in Greek. (The Hebrew Old Testament had been translated into Greek in the Third Century BC. This translation, known as the Septuagint, thus made the Old Testament available to the Western world.)
