This chapter outlines and argues for the vital importance of material culture in our historiographies of early Christianity in four parts. The chapter begins by defining material culture and then shows that material culture has long been included in the history of scholarship of the New Testament. Next, it surveys some of the key trends in the use of material culture for the study of women, gender, and sexuality in antiquity, and, finally, it suggests ways in which feminist materialist philosophy and history leads us to think more expansively about what is meant by material culture, focusing on the “matter” within it and harnessing theories of materiality to deepen our historical analysis of the context for the first production and reception of New Testament and other early Christian texts.

The history of Christianity need to be examined to find facts about the birth and growth of Christianity. That early Christianity was born in a certain area, in a certain situation and condition that it is never repeated throughout the history of mankind. In the first three centuries in the Mediterranean region, has developed a robust system of government, namely the Roman Empire, so that businesses spread of Christianiny from one place to another has been supported by adequate infrastructure. The development of Greek Philosophy teaching at the time of the birth of Christianity also has contributed strongly to the Christian teacher to perform its mission. Even in the early days of Christianity has some overlap of understanding between Christianity and Judaism because it is difficult to distinguish who the real proselytes and who the followers of Christianity, apears between Christianity and Judaism have led to the same source. So the world where Christianity was born and developed is not something that is nil. The context of the Roman Empire, and Judaism heve influenced very meaningful to early Christianity, especially at the beginning of three centuries. Context as it continually faced Christianity throughout the world over the centuries to the present.
