Years: 244 - 387

Christianity had been introduced to Anatolia through the missionary activity of Saint Paul, a Greek-speaking Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, and his companions.

Christians possibly even constitute a majority of the population in most of Anatolia by the time Christianity is granted official toleration under the Edict of Milan in CE 313.

A patriarchate is established before the end of the fourth century in Constantinople, with ecclesiastical jurisdiction over much of the Greek East.
