One might ask what Christian theology has to do with a history of the time before the Incarnation. However, in order to understand why Christ came and why the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church was created, it is necessary to first examine the events which led to and underpin its creation.

This article is the first in a series which will examine the creation of the necessary preconditions, both historical and philosophical, which led up to the Incarnation of Christ.
