Many people have trouble understanding Christianity. The
explanations it gives of itself are encoded in metaphor and
symbolism and locked into archaic language in which everything
turns out to mean something else. This essay describes the
Christian faith using straightforward language and concrete terms
that keep the mystical and symbolic to a minimum. Two types of
readers may find this booklet helpful. First, there are potential
believers who have found themselves attracted to Christianity but
repelled by what seems like the requirement that they accept
absurdities. The second group consists of non-believers who want to
view Christianity and their Christian friends fairly, but who find
the whole business so nonsensical that they can't take it
seriously. Both of these groups should find the explanation given
here to be more coherent and comprehensible than they have
encountered elsewhere.
