"Aprender" la Palabra de Dios (EEChO)
The Gospel spread through oral tradition and a common language to reach distant regions without modern technology. Daniel Iglesias Grèzes reports that Aramaic, used for international trade, allowed the message to travel from the columns of Hércules to China.
This expansion relied on a method where small groups of six apprentices memorized the teachings. After one year, each apprentice became a teacher to six more people. This progression helped the faith spread through international trade routes, leading to at least seven bishops in Galia and several in China by the end of the century.
