With over twenty years in the classroom, Gail Ramshaw frames this new introduction to Christianity survey text around the basic questions students ask. Taking a broad social-scientific approach and integrating historical context, she anchors each chapter in phenomenological theory and teases out the answers to each chapters question by surveying the history, doctrine, practices, and convictions of Christianity.Written for students with little to no background in Christianity, the book contains student-friendly learning helps including chapter summaries, photos and charts, "I am a Christian" statements that illustrate the diversity of practice and belief, study questions, suggestions for further exploration in both books and film, a glossary, and an index. What is Christianity? is a great addition to any serious students collection of books about Christianity.
