Companion summary

Have you ever wondered why so many towns have a church right in the middle? Christianity shapes festivals, art, music, and buildings you probably walk past every day. Christians follow the teachings of Jesus, and their holy book, the Bible, has been translated into over 700 languages. When you finish, try spotting a cross or a church near you and think about the story behind it.

How Many Believers?

How Many Believers?

Did you know that roughly 2.4 billion people around the world call themselves Christian? That is nearly one in every three people on Earth. Christians live on every continent — from Brazil to Nigeria, from South Korea to Norway. Think about your own town or city. Can you spot any clues that Christians live there? Maybe a building with a cross on top, or bells ringing on a Sunday morning.
