Description
Some 2 billion of the world's 6.5 billion people identify themselves as Christian; Christianity adds 20 million converts a year worldwide; and it also has 22,000 different denominations. It's estimated that more than 270 new denominations appear on the scene annually-it's no wonder if people sometimes feel confused about what each segment of Christianity is all about. In The Complete Idiot's Guide (R) to Christianity Today, Jeffrey B. Webb helps readers define what Christianity is all about, from the roots of Catholicism and the three streams of Protestantism, to the denominations specific to America and what he calls "Christianity without borders"-fundamentalism, evangelicalism, the Charismatic movement, and "New Age" Christianity. Whether people are searching for the right Christian church for themselves or seeking to understand the differences between denominations, this book is a fascinating look at where Christianity is right now.
