Christianity Article

Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as depicted in the New Testament.Christianity teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament, and that the New Testament records the Gospel that was revealed by Jesus.

Christianity began as a sect within Judaism, and includes the Hebrew Bible (known to Christians as the Old Testament) as well as the New Testament as its canonical scriptures. Like Judaism and Islam, Christianity is classified as an Abrahamic religion .

The name "Christian" , meaning "belonging to Christ" or "partisan of Christ",was first applied to the disciples in Antioch, as recorded in Acts 11:26. The earliest recorded use of the term "Christianity"is by Ignatius of Antioch.

In spite of important differences of interpretation and opinion, Christians in the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant traditions share a common faith.Although Christianity has always had a significant diversity of belief on controversial issues, most Christians share a common set of doctrines that they hold as essential to their faith. This common Christian heritage of beliefs has been given such titles as "the Good News of Jesus Christ," "the Way" and "mere Christianity," among others.
