With over two billion adherents worldwide, Christianity is the
world’s largest religion. However, with a multitude of
denominations, and a huge variety of opinions on many of its
central tenets, it can be difficult to obtain a balanced overview of
the faith.

from his vast array of experience and knowledge to provide a
unique and authoritative introduction for those seeking a deeper
understanding of this complex faith. Examining differing
Christian perspectives on fifteen major themes ranging from
Creation to conceptions of the Trinity, Christianity: A Beginner’s
Guide will inform and challenge both Christians and nonbelievers
alike.
