Christianity is the most widely distributed of the world religions. In the late 1990’s, its total membership exceeded 1.9 billion people.
Like any system of belief and values, Christianity is in many ways comprehensible only “from the inside,” to those who share the beliefs and strive to live by the values; and a description that would ignore these “inside” aspects of it would not be historically faithful. It seems that those on the “inside” often fail to recognize that such a system of beliefs and values can also be described in a way that makes sense just the same to an interested observer who does not or maybe cannot, share their outlook.
Christianity is a community, a way of life, a system of belief, a tradition and much more.
