Christianity Explained
Description
In many countries people growing up today do not have a Sunday School understanding of the gospel, or even the basic facts about Jesus. Christianity Explained gets away from the quick one-off presentation of the gospel which has characterized much of our evangelistic efforts in the past.
Based on six studies from Mark's gospel, this 'manual' is a tried-and-tested tool for evangelism. It presents the challenge of Jesus in a way that is non-threatening and concentrates on the facts concerning the person and work of Christ. It begins with the assumption that the hearer knows absolutely nothing about Jesus or the Good News.
During the course, participants will be invited to discuss and question what they are hearing and, by the end of the six 'studies', will be challenged to repentance, belief and a trust in Jesus.
The course, initially compiled by Scripture Union in Australia, has proved especially effective in 1-to-1 work.
A number of translations are available through the Christianity Explained website.

Other information
'Christianity Explained is a superb tool for evangelism which I have personally used now for over 15 years. Our church has even structured a weekly class around it that runs regularly. The six short studies in Mark's Gospel are so clear and engaging that anybody can be equipped to introduce someone to Jesus. I would encourage you to use it both individually and in your church.'- Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC

Concise and Thought Provoking
I have just started using this and it has been a great addition to outreach. It's compact (6 weeks), but doesn't leave anything out. Great explanation of sin and man's depravity. I'm looking forward to using it more and in different settings. A huge plus is that the "homework" handouts can be copied and there's no need to by additional student books. Wonderful work!
