Christianity
The Christian religion, which declares belief in Jesus Christ as God incarnated and follows a faith based on His teachings; also, the Christians as a group.
Christianity came into being circa 30 AD, when the Apostles received the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the resurrection and gospel of Christ.
By 380 AD, Christianity was the official religion of the Roman empire, and became the basis of European civilization in the Middle Ages.
Christianity today includes many denominations and styles of worship. Some of the most important are the Orthodox Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Churches, the Church of England, the Churches of Christ, the Episcopal Church, the Lutheran Church, the Pentecostal Churches, the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Churches, the Salvation Army, Unitarianism, and the Quakers.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
