Publisher's summary
With over two billion adherents, Christianity is the world’s largest religion. However, with a multitude of denominations, and varying opinions on many central tenets, it can be difficult to obtain a balanced overview of this complex faith. Best-selling author Keith Ward provides a unique and authoritative introduction to Christianity that will reward both the curious and those seeking a deeper understanding of their religion.
Examining themes ranging from Creation to conceptions of the Trinity, Ward reveals a multifaceted religion united by a common belief, and encourages readers to think creatively about a tradition whose impact has been felt in the remotest areas of the planet.

Editorial reviews
A massive religion with a proliferation of highly divergent views, it can be difficult to provide a simple definition of what Christianity is all about. But in this insider account of the religion from British theologian, writer, and ordained Church of England priest Keith Ward, the various threads of belief come together to form a recognizable whole. Veteran voice performer Richard Aspel brings an energetic, upbeat reading to this audiobook, making the already complex and fascinating material highly listenable. Dispassionate, inclusive, and comprehensive, Ward's audiobook is excellent listening for anybody interested in learning more about the Christian faith.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.
