timeline of christianity
scholars have long asserted that armenia became the first country to adopt christianity as its state religion. it is said that christianity became the official religion of armenia in 301, when it was still illegal in the roman empire. according to church tradition, the armenian apostolic church was founded by gregory the illuminator of the late third – early fourth centuries while they trace their origins to the missions of bartholomew the apostle and thaddeus (jude the apostle) in the 1st century. although it has long been claimed that armenia was the first christian kingdom, this has relied on a source by agathangelos titled "the history of the armenians", which has recently been redated, casting some doubt.
