Prothero Christianity Homework

Christianity: The Basics

Key Questions:

Why is orthodox (or "correct") belief so much more important to Christianity than to most other religions?

What is the "story" of Christianity and how does it work on multiple levels?

Why has Christianity "splintered" into so many different sects? What makes them all still "Christian?"

Homework:

We will not read all of Prothero's chapter on Christianity for homework. Some sections we will cover in class, others we will skip.
