Christianity in the 1st

See also: Ministry of Jesus, Apostolic Age, and Christianity in the 2nd century
The earliest followers of Jesus composed an apocalyptic, Jewish sect, which historians refer to as Jewish Christianity.[3] The Apostles and others following the Great Commission's decree to spread the teachings of Jesus to "all nations," had great success spreading the religion to gentiles. Peter, Paul, and James the Just were the most notable of Early Christian leaders.[4] Though Paul's influence on Christian thinking is said to be more significant than any other New Testament author,[5] the relationship of Paul of Tarsus and Judaism is still disputed today. Rather than having a sudden split, early Christianity gradually grew apart from Judaism as a predominantly gentile religion.
