  Teach Yourself Christianity Fourth Edition is a comprehensive guide to the Christian faith. You will begin by focusing on the central figure, Jesus Christ, and delving into his life, teaching and impact before turning to the Bible and the key Christian beliefs and practices. John Young will then guide you skilfully through the last 2000 years of the faith, considering the diversity of the many churches and modern movements, from Anglicanism and Catholicism to evangelism and fundamentalism. How relevant can the Bible be today? What is the role of prayer? How has the church reacted to issues of gender and sexuality? How does Christianity deal with suffering? Fully updated to include discussion of the most recent issues and debates and never shying away from difficult questions, Teach Yourself Christianity is a fascinating read. Each title in the religion sub-series of Teach Yourself aims to present all the essential information required by a reader who has little or no previous knowledge of the religion.

Perhaps you have a serious spiritual interest in the religion yourself? Whether you have a particular goal in mind or are simply interested in learning more about any one of the fascinating religions covered by this series, you are certain to find these books useful and informative.
