Origin of Christianity:
The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, Christian countries
, and the Christians with their various denominations, from the 1st century to
the present.
Christianity originated with the ministry of Jesus, a Jewish teacher and healer
who proclaimed the imminent Kingdom of God and was crucified c. AD 30–33
in Jerusalem in the Roman province of Judea. His followers believe that,
according to the Gospels, he was the Son of God and that he died for the
forgiveness of sins and was raised from the dead and exalted by God, and
will return soon at the inception of God's kingdom.
 Christianity

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. It has a constituency of more than two billion
believers. Its largest groups are the Roman Catholic Church,
the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the Protestant churches.
Christianity Beliefs
Some basic Christian concepts include:

● Christians are monotheistic, i.e., they believe there’s only one God, and he created the heavens
and the earth. This divine Godhead consists of three parts: the father (God himself), the son (
Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit.
● The essence of Christianity revolves around the life, death and Christian beliefs on the
resurrection of Jesus. Christians believe God sent his son Jesus, the messiah, to save the
world. They believe Jesus was crucified on a cross to offer the forgiveness of sins and was
resurrected three days after his death before ascending to heaven.
● Christians contend that Jesus will return to earth again in what’s known as the Second
Coming.
● The Holy Bible includes important scriptures that outline Jesus’s teachings, the lives and
teachings of major prophets and disciples, and offer instructions for how Christians should
live.
● 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
The Christian Bible
The Christian Bible is a collection of 66 books written by various authors. It’s divided into two parts: The
Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Old Testament, which is also recognized by followers of Judaism, describes the history of the
Jewish people, outlines specific laws to follow, details the lives of many prophets, and predicts the
coming of the Messiah.

The New Testament was written after Jesus’s death. The first four books—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
—are known as the “Gospels,” which means “good news.” These texts, composed sometime between
70 A.D. and 100 A.D., provide accounts of the life and death of Jesus.

Letters written by early Christian leaders, which are known as “epistles,” make up a large part of the
New Testament. These letters offer instructions for how the church should operate.

The Acts of the Apostles is a book in the New Testament that gives an account of the apostles’ ministry
after Jesus’s death. The author of Acts is the same author as one of the Gospels—it is effectively “part
two” to the Gospels, what happened after Jesus’s death and resurrection.

The final book in the New Testament, Revelation, describes a vision and prophecies that will occur at the
end of the world, as well as metaphors to describe the state of the world
 History of Christianity

According to the Bible, the first church organized itself 50 days after Jesus’s
death on the Day of Pentecost—when the Holy Spirit was said to descend
onto Jesus’s followers.Most of the first Christians were Jewish converts,
and the church was centered in Jerusalem. Shortly after the creation of the
church, many Gentiles (non-Jews) embraced Christianity.

Early Christians considered it their calling to spread and teach the gospel.
One of the most important missionaries was the apostle Paul, a former
persecutor of Christians. Paul’s conversion to Christianity after he had a
supernatural encounter with Jesus is described in Acts of the Apostles. Paul
preached the gospel and established churches throughout the
Roman Empire, Europe and Africa.

Many historians believe Christianity wouldn’t be as widespread without the

work of Paul. In addition to preaching, Paul is thought to have written 13 of
the 27 books in the New Testament.
