Christianity

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, with over two billion adherents, and is made up of a large set of traditions originating in first-century Palestine with the philosophy and teachings of Jesus (or Yeshua) Christ. As an historical and theological offspring of Judaism, the early Christian community incorporated the Jewish scriptures into their Bible and the relationship between the Jewish and Christian traditions remains complex and multifaceted. Christianity is a monotheistic faith that teaches that God is made up of three persons sharing a single essence (this teaching is known as Trinitarianism), and that His will for the world has been revealed in the Bible, a book made up of several dozen pieces of literature composed over 2,000 years in the Ancient Near East.
