It gives a brief, but surprisingly comprehensive, summary of the scriptures, history, doctrines, rituals, and types of Christianity. It also deals with contemporary issues: homosexuality, the role of women, the relationship between faith and science. The Christian author explains what he believes and helps readers discover where they disagree. An Introduction to Christianity for a New Millennium should be useful for Christians and non-Christians.  aDescription based on print version record. 4aChristianityy21st century. 0aChristianityy21st century. 7aRELIGION / Christian Theology / Systematic2bisacsh 7aRELIGION / Christianity / General2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aSinclair, Scott Gambrill.tAn Introduction to Christianity for a New Millennium.dLanham : Lexington Books, ©2008z9780739124673403Ebook Libraryuhttp://public.eblib.com/EBLPublic/PublicView.do?ptiID=1380480403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=638761  aEBL - Ebook LibrarybEBLBnEBL1380480  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn638761  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c53882d53882
