Later denominations which conceptualize faith as primarily a direct relationship between an individual and God came because humanity began to rediscover the truth in the bible. During the Dark Ages (a period lasting between 500 to 1,000 years), Roman Catholicism did not permit lay people from possessing or reading a bible, so much of the truth of the Gospel was lost during that time.
