name[edit]

Shouldn't this be called simply "Ancient Christianity"? Currently it includes many Greek, Egyptian and Syriac figures and topics as well. -- 84.57.14.9 16:21, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It might be more accurate as "Roman Era Christianity". GreatWhiteNortherner 18:06, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Agreed, this is very misleading. Too much of this is not "roman" but Coptic, Egyptian, etc, etc, for this category title to be helpful. Pastordavid 23:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Early Christianity and Category:Early Christians would be more accurate. "Ancient" and "Roman Era" are unnecessarily complicating. That said, there are suffient articles to justify the subcategories. I suggest migrating these articles to Early Chritianity. -Stevertigo 05:01, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No.
In in the study of history, Ancient = up to 500 BC. This fits it well with the other Wikimedia Category names.
"Early Christianity," in Church history, means Christianity up until the conversion of Constantine and/or the First Council of Nicaea-- or sometimes just thur the Apostolic Age. --Carlaude (talk) 05:24, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
