This is an essential guide to the study of Christianity. Clearly structured to cover all the major areas of study, including chapters on how Christianity has been studied, foundations and scripture, community and structure, religious values, theology and ethics, rituals and spirituality, aesthetics, and the teleological nature of Christianity, this is the ideal study aid for those approaching Christianity for the first time. With helpful suggestions for further study, pointing students towards material such as primary sources (scriptures), films, and novels and including ideas for teaching, discussion topics, and exercises, Studying Christianity is the perfect companion for the beginning student of Christianity.
