When did christianity become the dominant religion in europe?

the history of christianity in europe begins with paul. he was in rome, italy and wrote his epistles from there while in prison. christian tradition states that peter was in rome for a short time and was crucified during the neronian persecution of christians. after a.d. 70, rome became one of the chief centers of christian development.

christianity in europe at this time was missionary in spirit. christians looked upon themselves as a new race, the true israel, and possessing a heavenly citizenship reaching down to earth. to become a christian, a person had to believe in the truth of the christian message, commit to live the christian lifestyle, and repent.
