Notes in class on religion

Today in Human Geo. we looked and highlighted more notes. Christianity was founded upon the teachings of Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem between eight and four B.C. and died on a cross in Jerusalem at about thirty A.D. The four Gospels of the Christian Bible- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John- document miracles and extraordinary acts performed by Jesus that the writers believed he performed. Jesus was arrested and out to death as an agitator. On the third day after his death, his tomb was found empty. Christians believe that Jesus died to atone for human sins, that he was raised from the dead by God, and that his Resurrection from the dead provides people with hope for salvation. Roman Catholics accept the teachings by the church hierarchy, headed by the Pope.
