Abstract
The Christian religion follows the Hebrew Bible in adopting a positive view of physical and human creation, and in envisaging God as deeply concerned with how human creatures behave ethically towards each other. It also believes that God entered into history in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to save humanity from the self-inflicted wounds of sin and to introduce a new era in which humanity would come to share God’s own life in mutual love, harmony and justice. Christianity is thus centrally concerned with beliefs about creation, sin, salvation and completion, and with their ethical implications.
