'''Christianity''' is a belief system with one person at the center, namely [[Jesus Christ]]. According to the Bible, a [[Christian]] is someone who has repented of their [[sin]] and put their faith and trust, for all details of their life, in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Aspects of Christianity ultimately come from the entire protestant canon (Bible), but primarily the [[New Testament]]. It is currently one of the world's largest belief systems, with members all over the globe.

'''Christianity''' is a religion taking its name from Jesus Christ. Adherents are called Christians. It seems that at first the reigion was called The Way and the adherents were called Nazarenes (after the city of Nazareth where Jesus lived.)  The name Christian arose in Antioch in the first century A.D. and its use spread. The three largest self-governing bodies of Christians are the Roman Catholic Church (approx. 1 billion baptized members), the Orthodox Church (approx. 300 million baptized members), and the Anglican Communion (approx. 77 million baptized members).
