![Sainthood took on its most familiar forms from the death of Jesus c. 33 CE to the decades following the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE. At the beginning of this period, we might imagine Christianity as an inchoate, diffusely organized set of parallel experiments into the problem of how to live a good life, each working with a different mix of philosophical, religious, and linguistic heritages, but commonly inspired by a charismatic itinerant preacher and his disciples. Some of these experiments failed to take hold or continued along divergent paths, others were seen off by concerted attempts to build a church hierarcy that set boundaries in areas of belief and practice. By the end of the 4th century Christianity had forged a robust identity distinct from Judaism, and from various traditions of thought and practice designated heretical (for example Gnosticism and Donatism). Its newly closed canon of sacred texts, the Holy Bible, included the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) and a series of letters and biographies, parables and prophecies, poetry and revelation. It had attracted in large numbers the finest pagan intellects of the age and absorbed their learning, including Greek philosophy, Latin literary forms, and bodily practices. After suffering a period of intermittent persecution in the 2nd and 3rd centuries it secured political protection and vast material resources from Roman emperors and their imperial aristocracies, sufficient to established an institutional matrix spanning the whole of the Roman [empire].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6zofo5h2xf64kv2fcx5t2t4i/bafkreiax5fgpbdfvzimdyq6sl5rxxmlofvf5i5pu7scdkng3lsqqh6lbee)
