Holy Bible (King James Version) |
|
The Bible is the
primary sacred scripture of both the Jewish and Christian
religions. These scriptures are compilations of what were
originally separate documents (called "books") written over a
long period of time. The first selection, which later formed the
Jewish Bible (Tanakh) consisted of 24 books, though Christians
count this as 39 books. Some Christian denominations have even
more books in their Old Testament. Later additions after the
birth of Jesus made up the New Testament, made up of 27 books

Deuterocanonical Apocrypha |
|
The deuterocanonical books are the
books that Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Oriental
Orthodoxy include in the Old Testament that were not part of the
Jewish Tanakh. Their acceptance among at least some early
Christians is generally well-testified, and as early as the
Council of Rome in 382, an official canon including these books
was published.

About Christianity
|
Religion stemming from the
teachings of Jesus in the 1st century AD.
Its sacred scripture is the Bible, particularly the New
Testament. Its principal tenets are that Jesus is the son of God
(the second person of the Holy Trinity), that God's love for the
world is the essential component of his being, and that Jesus
died to redeem humankind.
Christianity was originally a movement of Jews who accepted
Jesus as the messiah, but the movement quickly became
predominantly gentile. The early church was shaped by St. Paul
and other early Christian missionaries and theologians; it was
persecuted under the Roman empire but recognized by Constantine
I in 313. During the centuries since Jesus' death, Christianity
has subdivided into numerous sects that continue to proliferate;
the major divisions are Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy,
and Protestantism.
Nearly all Christian sects have an ordained clergy, members of
which are typically though not universally male. Members of the
clergy lead group worship services and in many sects are viewed
as intermediaries between the laity and the divine.
There are now more than 1.7 billion adherents of Christianity
throughout the world, found on all continents.

Important Persons
|
Jesus Christ
Jesus, also known as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, is the
central figure of Christianity, most of whose followers worship
him as the messiah, or Christ ("the Anointed One"), as the son
of God, and as God incarnate, Immanuel. In Islam, he is regarded
as a very important prophet.
The exact dates of Jesus' birth and death are not known. The
Anno Domini system of reckoning years was originally based on
setting year 1 as the first full year of Jesus' life; but
more-recent estimates place his birth as early as 8 BC/BCE, and
as late as 4 BC/BCE. Based on the mentioning of Pilate, his
death is now estimated to have likely taken place between 26
AD/CE and 36 AD/CE.
For Christians, Jesus is a historical person who became the
world's "savior"; the mediator between man and God. His life and
teachings are celebrated by most Christians through the various
parts of a church service, as well as through the cycle of
holidays in the Christian liturgical calendar (such as Christmas
and Easter).

Christian Symbol
|
 The
Christian cross is a familiar religious symbol of most
Christianity. Its significance lies in the belief that Jesus
Christ was executed by the governor of Judea on a large wooden
cross. The New Testament reports that the manner of Christ's
death was crucifixion, which involved being tied or (in Christ's
case) nailed to the cross (Greek stauros), and left to die. This
painful method of execution was common for slaves and non-Romans
convicted of serious crimes in the Roman Empire at the time.
In Christianity, the cross represents Christ's victory over
death and sin, since it is believed that through His death he
conquered death itself.
