Christianity (Teach Yourself Series)

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, and medical ethics; and other faiths
This is a book to stimulate reflection on the Christian faith, both for practicing Christians and for the general reader who wants to know more about this world-wide faith.
