Christianity 101: An Introduction to Faith, Leader's Guide

When we speak of Christianity, we sometimes speak in generalities, ignoring the shades of distinction between different doctrines and denominations. For those who are new to the faith, it is natural to wonder, What does a Christian believe, and what makes this religion different from all the others? It is this question for which Christianity 101 seeks to provide answers. Who is God, and what is the nature of God? Was Jesus really the son of God, and why is that important? In addition to the question of who God is, this study explores topics such as where the Bible came from, what purpose the Holy Spirit serves, what role the church plays in our lives, and more.
