Christianity: the religion which grew out of the
Jewish faith as transformed by the worship of Jesus
Christ after the Resurrection, and which, by combina-
tion with Greek culture and the conversion of a great
part of the Roman Empire, took a systematized form
as “historical Christianity,” having its chief basis in
Europe and presiding over the development of Western
civilization until recent centuries.
