Christianity

The religious tradition built around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, encompassing Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant branches and shaping nearly two thousand years of Western thought, art, and social structure. Beyond its specific theological claims — the Trinity, original sin, redemption, eternal judgment — Christianity has supplied much of the moral vocabulary, narrative grammar, and existential framing that European and American literature have either drawn on or struggled against. Recurring literary inheritances include Catholic guilt in Joyce, the prospect of a world without God in Dostoevsky, and the consolations and horrors of faith in Hemingway and McCarthy.
