Roman Persecution and Early Christianity
WH1 4.04 Roman Mythology and Early Christianity
Religions Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity are all practiced within Southeast Asia. Buddhism, particularly the more orthodox Theravada form, dominates the religious pattern of most of the mainland; only in northern Vietnam is the more liberal Mahayana Buddhism more common. Islam is predominant in the southern half of the Malay Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, and the southern Philippines. As a result of the large Muslim population in Indonesia, Islam is the religion of some two-fifths of Southeast Asians. The diffusion of the religion began in the early 14th century through contact with Muslim traders in northern Sumatra. Perhaps more than any of the other religions, Islam has been a strong force in binding together its adherents. It has profoundly affected cultural, social, political, and economic matters in areas where it is practiced. The spread of Christianity came with European contact. Roman Catholicism was introduced to insular Southeast Asia by the Spanish and the Portuguese in the 16th century and somewhat later to the Indochinese Peninsula by the French. Catholicism is most important in the Philippines and southern Vietnam. Protestantism also is locally important. The Batak and Minangkabau peoples in Sumatra and a growing number of Chinese in Singapore and elsewhere adhere to various Protestant denominations. Hinduism, once much more widespread, now is practiced by many people in the region’s Indian communities. In addition, this religion, modified by animism and other influences, is the primary faith on the island of Bali in Indonesia. Various forms of animism also are practiced in the region’s more remote areas, particularly in central Borneo, northern Laos, and northern Myanmar.
Initially the recording and communicating of economic events occurred through narratives in early civilisation. As businesses grew in size there became a need to record the procedures. In 1494, Luco Pacioli, an Italian, described the double entry system of debit and credit to be recorded in journals and ledgers. The Italians were the first bankers however accounting can be traced from the Greeks and Romans in the 4th and 5th century BC who were traders. The system has remained the same. The initial stewardship role of securing cash developed into a system of accounting which involves recording, summarizing and analysing data to ensure the efficient operation of the business currently known as financial accounting. Formerly, the data only reflected receipts and payments of cash. Today the practice is to match income earned with expenses incurred. Later on cost management was identified as a tool to help managers in making business decisions. Other services now include taxation etc. In the quest for consistency in record and presentation, the profession has developed and instituted organised rule making authorities including the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They create generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and concepts. They are established principles, standards, and legislation unique to each jurisdiction. The profession now requires accreditation and certification given the complexity involved in the record and presentation of accounts and statements.
