Christianity

Christian beliefs, the Bible, the life of Jesus and the church

Christianity began as a movement within Judaism and became the largest religion in the world, splitting repeatedly along the way into traditions that differ substantially.

The unit covers the life of Jesus, core beliefs, the Bible and the gospels, church and worship, and the major branches - Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant.

This unit breaks down into 21 short steps and 119 questions, starting at difficulty 2 and building to 3. Below you can see exactly what it covers, how the path is structured, and worked examples with explanations.

Christianity runs as 21 short steps that unlock in order. 15 are practice rounds and 6 are challenge rounds that pull together everything before them. Questions start at difficulty 2 and climb to 3 as you progress.

Where these questions come from. Each unit starts as a plan of the concepts it should cover and the difficulty it should span. Questions are written against that plan with AI assistance, then checked by a validator that rejects anything without a single defensible answer, an explanation, or plausible wrong options. How we write questions sets out the whole process, and corrections are fixed in the bank and reach the site and the app the same day.
