Christianity

Research Topic ** My research topic is Religion:Christianity. I chose this as my research topic because it is related to my portfolio topic, which is culture. It also is a good topic because it is very broad. Much information can be found out about Christianity. The following are the questions I would like to answer in my paper: 1.) When did Christianity begin? 2.) Who started Christianity? 3.) What is Christianity? 4.) Where is practiced the most? 5.) What impact has it had on the world? 6.) How has it evolved over time? 7.) Why do some people not practice Christianity? 8.) What drives a person to believe in Christianity? 9.) Why do other people practice different religions? 10.) What does Christianity teach? There are so many more questions that come to mind, but these are the most important. **Annotated Bibliography** This book discusses a debate among each of the above authors. This debate is about Jesus. The question that is trying to be answered is "Did the historical Jesus preach that God was about to bring an end to human history and impose the divine kingdom on the earth and all its peoples?" This website gives a brief explantion about the beginning of Christianity; when it began. It has links to other sites to further explain about Jesus and the other people mentioned in the Holy Bible. It explains how Christianity began and who first practiced this religion, according to the text of the Holy Bible. Yes, I understand that this is a wiki page and it can be editted by many people; however, it can be compared with other sources to determine whether it is reliable. It is closely related to many of my other sources; therefore, it appears to be reliable. This article discusses many things about Christianity. It gives an explanation about what Christians believe in, the history of Christianity, and Christianity today. This article, though to be written by someone else doing research on the topic, provides a good explanation about the foundation of Christianity. It talks about the history of Christianity, how it came to be what it is today in a sense. This article talks about Christianity in general terms. It states who Jesus is and who God is. It also briefly states what Christianity teaches. In this article, the start of Christianity is not exactly stated. However, it does provide good information about the 12 apostles, Jesus' followers. It describes who each were and what they did for Christ, This book discusses who Jesus is, what he did, and what did he teach. It goes into great detail about the Christian origins and the question to is there one true God. It explains a prophet and the practices of a prophet. It is a descriptive overview of Christianity.
