The expansion of the Hellenistic society ushered in an international intellectually developed society.What were the practical implications of this?  As Alexander the Great spread greek love of knowledge throughout the world, love of knowledge created libraries in places such as Alexandria, a common language, but most of all, with Greek language expressing new concepts, it created a strong yearning for God. Jesus was able to capitalize on this developed yearning and was able to spread the christian faith to most all of the territory Alexander the Great conquered. Interestingly Alexander the Great's conquests ended in India and by popular belief the Apostle Thomas' missionary work extended to regions of India! So essentially the spread of Jesus' faith modeled the spread of hellenistic society.
