A. Christian communities spread across the Roman world, but all followed a clearly defined theology. This statement is not true of the early Christian Church. In the early days of Christianity, there was significant diversity in beliefs and practices among different Christian communities. While they shared certain core beliefs and practices, there was no single, clearly defined theology that all adherents followed. Various interpretations of Christian doctrine existed, and it was not until later ecumenical councils that a more uniform theology was developed.
