 | | Another fundamental component of Christian faith and practice is the Christian community itself—the church. | | | Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, to which early Christians referred when they spoke about him as the one who had reconciled humanity to God, made the cross the chief focus of Christian faith and devotion and the principal symbol of the saving love of God the Father. | | | Whatever its institutional form, the community of faith in the church is the primary setting for Christian worship. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity |
| | Christianity is the name given to that definite system of religious belief and practice which was taught by Jesus Christ in the country of Palestine, during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius, and was promulgated, after its Founder's death, for the acceptance of the whole world, by certain chosen men among His followers. | | | It was the transference of Christianity from a Semitic to a Greek soil that explains, according to Dr. Hatch (Hibbert Lectures, 1888), "why an ethical sermon stood in the forefront of the teaching of Jesus, and a metaphysical creed in the forefront of the Christianity of the fourth century". | | | We gather that the Divine founder meant Christianity to be (1) a universal religion, (2) a perfect religion, (3) a visibly organized religion. |

| | Christianity is not really a religion; it is a relationship with God. | | | Christians believe in Jesus, who claimed to be God (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48), and who rose from the dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19f). | | | Christianity rises to the top when you earnestly investigate the other theories, philosophies, movements and religions of the world. |

| | Christianity |
| | Christianity is a religion based upon the belief that the Bible contains a divine message and that Jesus (who died between 25 and 40 CE) represents a new orientation in the relationship between man and God. | | | It was often in the clash with kings and rulers, as well as with other religions (especially Islam) that many Christians faced persecution, and had to stand up for their beliefs. | | | The many Christian churches in the region have between 14 and 20 million adherents. |

| | "Christianity": Fr Alexander Men's lecture on the eve of his assassination |
| | But one of the most important prayers of the Christian ascetic tradition is called the "Jesus Prayer," where one continually repeats the name of the One who was born, lived on earth, and was crucified and resurrected. | | | Finally, the essence of Christianity is found in God-manhood, or the joining of the organic and temporal human spirit with that of the Eternal and Divine. | | | The Christo-centricism of this foundational Christian prayer radically distinguishes it from all other meditations and mantras, because through it an encounter takes place: not mere concentration of thought or submersion in an ocean or spiritual abyss, but a personal encounter with the face of Jesus Christ, who stands both in and on the earth. |

We have chosen the same inclusive definition as is used by public opinion pollsters and government census offices: A "Christian" includes any group or individual who seriously, devoutly, prayerfully describes themselves as Christian. |
