6. Christianity and other religions
We will be looking at WHY Christians share their faith with people of other religions or no religion at all.
KEYWORD = EVANGELISM
Evangelism refers to the practice of relaying information about a particular set of beliefs to others who do not hold those beliefs.
The term is often used in reference to Christianity, where the scriptures often describe ‘evangelism’ as "spreading the good news". This led to Missionaries…
Proselytising means trying to convert someone to a religious faith.
