What impact did the rise of christianity have on the intellectual life of europe, both eastern and western, through the seventh century c. e.?

Christianity became one of the most influential things out there for intellectual life. Most philosophers and scientists of the time believed firmly in Christian principles and tried to incorporate them into their works. This was mostly done through philosophy about what it means to have a good life and be a good person, which was based around the teachings of Jesus to always be kind and good to everyone.
