Jesus of Nazareth

For everyone

Christianity is the religion that believes in the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth and in his death and resurrection. Its scripture consists of the Old and New Testaments. Most Christians believe that God is one in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (the Trinity). There are about 2.3 billion Christians worldwide; Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant are the main branches.

For specialists

The 27 books of the New Testament were written between the second half of the 1st century and the early 2nd century; canon lists were settled in the 4th century. The doctrine of the Trinity was formulated at the councils of Nicaea (325) and Constantinople (381). Islam accepts Jesus as a prophet but not his divinity or his death on the cross (al-Nisāʾ 4:157, 171).
