Before I get into the details of the question, let me set out the scenario. At some point in the 3rd Century, Persia converts to Christianity in a "Light shines East" style scenario, where Christianity is largely merged with Zoroastrianism and Ahura Mazda is conflated with the Christian God. The...

Christianity in China has an interesting history. Not mentioning on previous Christians in China in the medieval period, and starting off in the 16th Century, Jesuit missions from Europe came to China. Throughout the Late Ming Period, Jesuits acted as a limited middlemen for what little...

This is strictly speaking, a butterfly in my TL where Timur has only one Caucasus campaign after returning from vassalizing Golden horde. His west asian campaign such as those against Mamlukes and Ottomans are also butterflied. A Georgia that is not punching bag of Timur in this time has a lot...

Original Map by u/--Faris-- on Reddit How would this Effect Religion in Rome and Persia? How different would the Gospels be ITTL? How does effect religion and cultures in Armenia and Ethiopia, the oldest states to adopt Christianity? How different would Christianity be?

I made a thread in the Future History section last month challenging you guys to devise a scenario where Europe has a Christian revival within this century. In the opening post I stated that I may create a sister thread to that. Well, here it is. With a POD no earlier than 1900, make a scenario...

In this timeline, Rome was destroyed by Gauls in 387 BC. As a result, the Parthians control the Levant and Egypt. Christianity is butterflied away because: 1. Jesus was killed by the Romans 2. Centuries of oppression of Jews by Greeks and Romans led to Jews looking for a messiah. The Parthians...

So inspired by some only half-serious conversation over on the Your least favourite AH tropes & motifs thread over in Non-Pol Chat lamenting the lack of Mormon Taiping Rebellion TLs . So your challenge here is that with a PoD after 1770, craft a scenario in which the United States is torn...

Yeah. Anyway, this is my first post here, and it looks like people get banned for pretty much no reason, but I had this idea and I'd like to discuss the possibility of it actually happening. The premise is that the Roman Empire collapses sooner, probably during the Crisis of the 3rd Century...

In the Late Roman period, Christianity was a fast growing force, the rough number of Christian converts increasing at exponetial rates from its rough founding during the reign of Tiberius until Christians were the majority in or around 350 AD. At the same time, as has been well hashed out, here...

what if Abrahamic religions were Republican instead of being monarchic with Israel and Judea being Republics instead of Monarchies ,Judaism incorporating those ideals and Christianity, Islam continuing them. How would this effect religion and world history

From “History of the Apostolic Church” by Afshin Khorrami Even after the death(and some say resurrection) of that certain man from Nazareth, the young religion of Christianity continued to gain new members in spite of official persecution. The young church ran into increasing issues with its...

Let's say Pope Gregory VII dies shortly after taking office. HRE Emperor Henry IV is able to seize the day and wins the investiture controversy, and the Gregorian Reforms never happen. Notable effects: -Conciliarism reigns? Pope is not supreme and can even be opposed by Ecumenical Councils...

With a POD at the founding of the Christian faith, have the majority of the inhabitants of the Indian Subcontinent (OTL India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and The Maldives) following a branch of Christianity, whether it be Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Nestorian or some...

From “Amir al-Mu‘minin: History of the Caliphs” by Suleiman al-Dimashqi The fall of Constantinople was met by great celebration within the Dar al-Islam[1] and with great mourning within the lands of Christendom. The city, built by the Christian Emperor Constantine for whom it was named, had...

what if Maccabees were defeated completely by Seleucids? what would be the effects on Judaism ?

So, this is a topic I've seen pop up from time to time, and there is much debate to it. In this hypothetical scenario, in this timeline, Cortez fails to conquer the Aztec Empire, and Pizarro never goes off to conquer the Inca, and both native empires survived Spanish colonialism and never fall...

I created this thread due to certain discussions in the thread The fate of science in the non-Abrahamic world, how would the continued morality and culture of the antiquity and the east affect the world if they continued being dominant? I wonder how the world's culture will be affected by not...

As Jinnah and the Muslim League were granted the nation of Pakistan, could anything similar have been provided for the Christians? It's a really interesting scenario which popped up in my head a while ago, and I'm guessing this Christian nation would most likely be carved out of Northeast India...

In OTL, there was never a Germanic Branch of Christianity until, if you count it, the Protestant Reformations came. The challenge here is to have a Northern Branch of Christianity be distinctly Germanic and independent of Eastern Greek Christianity and Western Latin Christianity and have it...
