• founder: Jesus Christ (its' Abrahamic in origin) 
• holy book: The Bible , especially the New Testament 
• beliefs: Jesus is both human and divine- the Son of God, he led a virtuous life, he was crucified, died, and was buried, and resurrected; he ascended into heaven where he reigns with God the Father 
• clergy: the Pope is head of the church, priests are local authorities 

The next religion we talked about/took notes on was Islam:
