The purpose of this timeline is to give a detailed historical account of the real historical events of Christianity from the beginning of the current era (CE / AD) to the present. A.D. is the abbreviation of the Latin term "anno Domini" which translates to "the year of our Lord". Among English speakers, A.D. was used with the words spelled out in Latin or in English on official documents and private letters before the 21st century. Question marks ('?') below on dates indicate approximate dates. Christian events include miracles and fulfilled Hebrew prophecies.

The year one is the first year in the Christian calendar (there is no year zero), which is the calendar presently used (in unison with the Gregorian calendar) almost everywhere in the world. Traditionally, this was held to be the year Jesus was born; however, most modern scholars argue for an earlier or later date, the most agreed upon being between 6 BC and 4 BC.
