Christianity is one of the most

influential religions in history.

It's the largest religion the world
has ever known and it's
responsible for the largest
institution the world has ever
known, the Christian Church.
CHRISTIANITY
Its founder was a Jewish carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth.
It's the largest religion in the world, with more followers than
any other.
It was originally written and discussed in Greek, Latin, and
Aramaic.
It was founded in Palestine.
Its original founding date was 33 A.D.
There is only one God, who is a Trinity between Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
There are many different branches, and they don't all believe
the exact same things.
There are 10 commandments to be followed.
Jesus died to save people from their sin, and all they have to
do is believe in him.
Additional facts:
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God, that God sent him to earth to save
humanity from its sins and that there is only
one God, but that there are three elements to
this God: the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit.
One of the most important concepts in
Christianity is that of Jesus giving his life on
the Cross (the Crucifixion) and rising from the
dead on the third day (the Resurrection).
