The History of Christianity by Dennis King Book Summary

This essay, The History of Christianity, does not presume to establish a definitive, all-inclusive document. There are many conflicting ideas of what the “Christian Religion” is or has been. Christianity's development can be very confusing and it is often discussed in more “scholarly” terms than necessary. Therefore, this was written as straightforwardly as possible to highlight the more significant events in Christianity's history. Topics within are sequenced in a more-or-less chronological timeline.
Christianity is a bible based religion founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ. ‘Christ’ is not the last name of Jesus. The word, ‘Christ,’ means the anointed one of God the Father. Jesus, anointed by God, was born fully human to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies and laws. He performed many miracles and instructed shepherds and priests alike. These acts were recorded on scrolls, by eyewitness accounts, and supported by non-biblical documents. Individual scrolls and manuscripts were aggregated into today's books of the Bible(s).
Near the end of His first earthly ministry, Jesus, Son of the Most High, willingly, though somewhat reluctantly, died on the cross for the remission of all our sins so we could have a chance of salvation. Three days later, He physically rose from death, left the burial tomb, and proved to the Apostles—He was alive again before ascending to heaven.
Christianity teaches there is only one Supreme Being manifested as the Holy Trinity; God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God made the universe and the earth while creating humankind in His image. The Son is the only way to salvation. The Holy Spirit convicts sinners but works in the hearts and minds of all humanity to save those who exercise their faith and believe in Jesus.
