Christianity

Christianity (from the Ancient Greekword Χριστός, Christos, a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ, Māšîăḥ, meaning "theanointed one", together with the Latinsuffixes -ian and -itas) is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and oral teachings of Jesus of Nazarethas presented in the New Testament. Christianity is the world's largest religion, with about 2.2 billion adherents, known as Christians. Christians believe that Jesus has a "unique significance" in the world. Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, and the saviour of humanitywhose coming was prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequently, Christians refer to Jesus as Christ or the Messiah.
