What makes us truly Christian?



Famous atheist Richard Dawkins was made to look slightly silly by Vicar Giles Fraser when he could not correctly name Charles Darwins' book. (Dawkins had said many people in the 2001 Census could not have been real Christians since they could not correctly name the first book of the New Testament).

Even given the fact that modern biblical scholars greatly dispute which is actually the first book of the New Testament  (Matthew or Mark), ours is ultimately not a Religion of the Book, as Pope Benedict stresses in Verbum Domini,  but a Religion of the Word, who is a living person - Jesus Christ.
