Christianity - major religion, stemming from the

life, teachings, and death of Jesus of


Nazareth (the Christ, or the Anointed One of
God) in the 1st century CE. It has become the
largest of the world’s religions and,
geographically, the most widely diffused of all
faiths. (Matt Stefon and Martin E. Marty)

Christianity is the faith tradition that focuses on


the figure of Jesus Christ. In this context, faith
refers both to the believers’ act of trust and to
the content of their faith

Jesus commissioned the apostles to spread


Christianity throughout the world but it was
Jesus Himself who "founded" Christianity with
His death, shed blood, and resurrection from
the dead.

Matthew 28:18-20

Acts 1:8

Christianity originated with the ministry of


Jesus in the first century Roman province of
Judea. According to the Gospels, Jesus was a
Jewish teacher and healer who proclaim the
imminent Kingdom of God, and was crucified at
c. 30-33 AD.

4 major beliefs of Christianity

• Christians believe that there is only one


God, whom they call Father as Jesus
Christ taught them.

• The death, descent into hell,


resurrection and ascension of Christ.

• The holiness of the church and the


communion of Saints.

• Christ’s second coming, the Day of


judgement and salvation of the faithful.

Why is Christianity called Christianity?

Both Christians and Jews follow the Old


Testament of the Bible, but Christians also
embrace the New Testament. The cross is a
symbol of Christianity. The most important
Christian holidays are Christmas (which
celebrates the birth of Jesus) and east.
