Over the past month, a six part Christianity Explained course has been run by Simon Hingston at 11am and 7pm on Mondays. “This is a course that goes over what is most important to know about Christianity – it is about the core of Christianity” said Simon.
The course has been well attended by nine people regularly and has appealed to people for different reasons. Some people know that they aren’t Christian and want to understand what Christianity is about. Others are Christians already and just want to confirm their belief in the core issues. A few are doing the course so that they can go and do the course with people that they know who aren’t Chris-tian. Simon remarked, “It’s a great course for anyone to do because it has something to offer both Non-Christians and Christians alike”
The course is structured over six weeks and uses Mark’s gospel for most of it’s Biblical material. The first three weeks concen-trate on who is Jesus. The last three weeks then focus on how to respond to Jesus. Meanwhile attendees will have read through the whole of Mark’s account of Jesus life, and had the opportunity to ask as many questions they like about Christianity.
Christianity Explained is also presented in a non-confrontational manner. A person will never be asked to pray, read anything aloud or answer any questions in front of the group. Individuals can ask questions or decide to quietly observe. In this way it is appealing to all sorts of learning styles as well as confidence levels.
Michael Bennett is the Australian author of this course, which is now spreading around the globe. In a country like Australia where a best-selling Christian book may top 5000 copies, Christianity Explained has been purchased by over 50,000 Australian believers.
