Year 94 CE - Josephus's book Jewish Antiquities appears on the market. It is read privately, publicly, and its stories are passed on by direct and indirect listeners. Of particular interest is the story about Jesus whom his disciples proclaimed Christ, called Testimonium Flavianum. Enthusiasts spread this story by word of mouth and thus interest in it grows. This mechanism works identically today in the case of Marian apparitions.
Year 95-120 - As a result of the growing popularity of the message about Jesus Christ and the expectations of recipients, a tradition is created in two main directions. First of all, there is a trend for reported revelations. Secondly, the figure of the historical Jesus is gradually being built. The revelations are used by writers to create heroes of the movement since little is known about Jesus himself - The Shepherd of Hermas, the Letters of Paul. It is a recognized form of developing religious content regardless of religion - someone once had a revelation, so his legacy is important. Other writers creatively supplement the concise Testimonium note with an invented narrative and message - quotes from Jesus, his colleagues, his family, Jerusalem, the Passion narrative with an increasingly longer introduction. Gospels are being written. The scriptures initially have little significance. The Christian movement is still based on charismatic preachers preaching various messages.
Year 120 CE - Marcion's first organized church. Marcion introduces a missionary structure that prepares missionaries in a standard way. They are given a New Testament set (*Ev and Pailine Corpus) that replaces the creation and charisma of earlier preachers. These unique communication talents cease to be important. Thanks to this, both the gospels and the Pauline Corpus begin to become dominant literary positions in Christianity.
Year 100-140 synchronization of the gospel and Paul's letters called the Acts of the Apostles.
144 CE Rome imitates Marcion and creates its own structure, gathering together all the centers threatened by Marcion's organization. This rivalry is of enormous importance for the development of the Christian movement
