An excellent overview of Christianity, suitable for students (and teachers!) starting the new GCSE and 'A'-Level Religious Studies specifications.

Written in the same clear and engaging style as the bestseller Puzzle of Ethics and Puzzle of God, this book covers the key content common to all the new specifications – including:

• Jesus: His incarnation, life, ethical teaching, crucifixion and resurrection, salvific significance for Christians, and his relationship with God.
• The development of Christianity from the Early Church to modern Global Christianity.
• The similarities and differences between the various types of Christianity in terms of beliefs, teachings, and practices.
• The use and authority of the Bible and other sources of authority within the Churches, as well as how the Bible shapes Christian Ethics.
• Christian responses to science, feminism, secularism, philosophy, and new atheism, as well as critiques of social justice.

Most importantly, Vardy places these topics in context and helps students understand and appreciate Christianity, the largest religious tradition in the United Kingdom and worldwide. Through this latest book in Vardy's bestselling series, students will enjoy their studies and see the importance of further engagement with the subject.
