Christianity was founded early-mid 1st century AD
in Palestine, what was then known as the Levant. Christianity has both Judaic
and Pagan roots; it is based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ.
Christianity is now the world’s largest religions, there are
an estimated 2.1 billion followers of Christianity and these followers are
called Christians. There are many different types of Christians throughout the
world as Christianity has many different branches. The major branches of
Christianity are Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox.
Christians believe in God as one being who exists as the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (also known as The Trinity). They believe
that Jesus Christ, the son of God who is both human and divine, was sent to
save the world. The Bible, the sacred text of Christianity, is considered the
word of God. The bible includes both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Christians worship through prayers and hymns, this is
usually done during gatherings at churches. They also have sacraments such as
Baptism and Confession. Evangelism is where Christians preach the Gospel and
their beliefs to others with the intent to convert them, this has helped
Christianity spread throughout the world. There are also many symbols within
Christianity including one of the most recognizable symbols in the world today
the cross.
