CHRISTIANITY

CHRISTIANITY IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S BIGGEST RELIGIONS WITH ABOUT 2.1 BILLION FOLLOWERS WORLDWIDE.

IT IS BASED ON THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST WHO LIVED IN ISRAEL SOME 2,000 YEARS AGO.
Christianity is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. It is
the world's largest religion, with about 2.8 billion followers, representing one-third of the global population. Its
adherents, known as Christians, are estimated to make up a majority of the population in 157 countries and
territories, and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, whose coming as the messiah was prophesied in the Hebrew
Bible (called the Old Testament in Christianity) and chronicled in the New Testament.

What distinguishes Christians from Jews is that the former accepts Jesus Christ as the Messiah, or the Savior, while
the latter considers Jesus as just another prophet of God, and the real Messiah is yet to come.

The Christian bible includes the Hebrew Bible as their Old Testament, but the bulk of its early history is recorded in
the New Testament. The New Testament is divided into four parts:

 GOSPELS

The gospel follow the life and teachings of Jesus, and they were written by the four evangelists
1. Matthew
2. Mark
3. Luke
4. John
