Visible Ink’s lively and accessible “Handy Answer Book” series includes dozens of guides—some in their second editions—to everything from the Supreme Court to weather to accounting. Here, Christianity scholar Werner prepares a helpful volume covering a variety of questions: What is Christianity? Who is Jesus and what are his teachings? How has Christianity impacted Western culture? While the Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church and The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought are more solid and scholarly resources, this compact work is an ideal ready reference or browsing item.
VERDICT This title will interest young adults, general readers, Christians curious to learn more, and those who are spiritual but not religious and would like to explore the basics and some of the mysteries of the religion.
