Why was christianity appealing to people in the roman empire?
a. it was a path to wealth
c poverty was seen as an advantage
b. it was not expensive to convert
d. none of the abov

d. None of the above

It is not A, for Christianity always stressed the fact that they should try to get rid of material wealth for their treasure is found in heaven.

It is not B, because while they should not be too rich, it is also stressed that being poor isn't a better option too. Note that there is a quote that states along the line of 'may I not be rich, and forget God, nor poor, & steal, and take the name of my God [in vain]'.

It is not C, because i don't understand what money have to do with the conversion of any of the religions, and so "not expensive" doesn't really have the comparison we need.

I'd go with d. None of the above.

Christianity offered hope to people who wondered about the meaning of life in a harsh world.  It spoke of redemption and salvation that allowed people to endure hardship and suffering.  Those were some aspects of the Christian message's appeal.

Also, a big factor that convinced people in the Roman Empire of the value of Christianity was the way that Christians showed strength and character when they were being persecuted for their faith.  During the reign of Emperor Nero, Christians were persecuted heavily in Rome in the 60s AD. During the reign of Emperor Domitian in the 90s AD, there were further persecutions.  The bravery of Christians enduring persecutions made an impression on people, seeing them more as victims than as enemies of the state.
