INFLUENCES CHRISTIANITY

Christianity was influenced by the Greco-Roman culture very early. The religion in the Greco-Roman world was marked by syncretism - that is, the easy exchange and borrowing of ideas and rituals between religious groups - so many of the pagan religions in existence in the time of Christ shared common characteristics with one another.

Nevertheless, distinct threads of pagan religious thought are clearly identifiable, the most prominent being the cults of the Roman state, the mystery religions, and the schools of Greek philosophy.

After the Goth Invasion of Italy Celtic elements started to enter into the Christian religion. The Nordic and Celtic influences increased as the power and intellectual leadership shifted from the Mediterranean to Central Europe.
