This book gives an introduction to Christianity as a living religion. Starting from the person, teaching and impact of Jesus, it describes the beliefs and practices of Christians and outlines some of the key features of the church's two-thousand-year history. Christianity has deeply influenced Western culture, so a final section looks at some of its artistic, musical, architectural and literary inheritance.
The book includes sections on:
- prayer, worship and Christian experience
- modern movements within the Church
- Christian faith in a scientific age
- facing death
- church, society, medical ethics and other faiths.
This is a book to stimulate reflection on the Christian faith, both for practising Christians and for the general reader who wants to know more about this world-wide faith.
