Eyewitness Christianity (Electronic book text)

An essential addition to the award-winning Eyewitness series, Eyewitness Christianity is a beautiful and informative guide to Christian life, beliefs, and culture. Spectacular artefacts, manuscripts, and photographs combine to tell the story of the Christian faith and its influence around the world - providing a revealing eyewitness account of Christianity. This full colour guide shows you photographs of significant artefacts throughout Christian history such as one of the dead sea scrolls, the vestments worn by a priest, as well as illustrating major events such as the birth of Jesus, the crucifixion and the resurrection. Eyewitness Christianity will let you discover the hidden stories of other sacred events, such as what happened at the Sermon on the Mount, what the reformation was and how the emperor Constantine changed the course of Christian history. It also explains in simple terms how Protestants and the Orthodox Church branched out from Catholicism, and how this has shaped today's Christian devotion. This Eyewitness guide is invaluable in teaching and introducing Christianity to readers of all ages who are completely new to the faith or those who need a refresher.
