What do Christians believe? What is typical of the Christian faith and how Christians live their faith?

With 52 questions and answers, this book gives you an overview of the content of the Christian faith. You can read it as an introduction to Christianity. If you are already familiar with it, then it is a deepening refreshment of the basic elements.

The questions are taken from life. Is believing for simple souls? Did Jesus really exist? What do people do in heaven? Is God a judge who condemns? Why should you forgive yourself? Does suffering make sense? Are the other religions wrong? Has Jesus laughed?

All pieces can be read in a maximum of two minutes. The answer is always followed by two questions to work on it individually or together with others. There are also references to five other questions relating to the subject under discussion. At the end of the book is a list with a short description of 52 common words such as prayer, grace, heaven, Easter, sin, sacrament and devil. In the text these words are marked with an asterisk.
