| − | The Bible is a collection of documents compiled into one book almost 2,000 years ago. Although it was men who put pen to paper, the Bible itself tells us that it is ''God-breathed''. It is the most widely read book in the world and has been translated into hundreds of languages. In English alone there are dozens of translations in common use, including the [[King James Version]] and [[Bible, English, World English|The World English Bible]].

| − | <h3>[[Christian art, literature and music]] and [[Christian Classics Wiki Library|Christian Classics]]</h3>
| + | The greatest news worthy item in the history of mankind has always been and will continue to remain the gospel (meaning good news). The good news is that [[Jesus Christ]] came to the world, born of a virgin without any sin, died on the cross, rose again on the third day to provide [[forgiveness]] of [[sin]] for all who will believe in Him. |
| | | | |
| − | Throughout church history, people have devoted themselves to great works of literature and art for God. The [[Christian Classics]] library is a collection of public domain Christian writings, with works like [[The Confessions of St. Augustine]], [[Pilgrim's Progress]] and [[In His Steps]]. [[Bible Dictionaries]] and [[Bible Commentaries|commentaries]] such as [[Mathew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible]] are useful references to gain an overview of a topic.

| − | Today, the Christian church faces many issues. There is a mass of people who have not heard the good news of Jesus. Christians around the world are involved in missionary work to bring men and women to Christ as commanded by Jesus in the [[Great Commission]]. At the same time, billions of people live in terrible poverty without clean water or the opportunity for good health. If we are to truly follow in the footsteps of Jesus, then these are issues that should be close to our heart too. See also [[Religion and politics]] and [[Apologetics]]
