Last year, I published an article on the uniqueness of Christianity to show that Christianity is fundamentally unlike any other world religion or philosophy.

“Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship.” A common cliché in our circles; hardly helpful, hardly true. Of course Christianity is a religion. It has ritual, history, culture, social affiliation, code of conduct, creedal confession. Christianity has every feature of what a religion might be. Now that we have settled this question, another more important question comes up: Since Christianity is a religion, what makes it different from other religions?
