Good "Intro to Christianity" Book (bible, Mary, Articles)

[KateTacular]

I took a introductory class to Christianity at IU Bloomington abuot 3 years ago. We used a book that my professor wrote, and I think it's a great "starting off" book for people who want to learn about the history and context for the Bible and growth of Christianity. It's aptly titled "Introduction to Christianity" by Professor Mary Jo Weaver [with help from David Brakke & Jason Bivins]. The ISBN 0-534-24462-9 if anyone is interested. She also includes a huge number of other suggested books and articles about a wide range of topics. If anyone else has read it, let me know what you think!
