  The stories of Christianity - Wikipedia
The stories of Christianity make up an ancient, culturally important body of literature that have served and for many, continue to serve the purpose of providing moral and historical instruction, and building the faith of believers.
Hagiographies, that is, stories of the lives of the saints.
Stories about the physical appearances of the Devil wearing a red suit or having bright red skin, carrying a pitchfork and having a forked tail and horns.

Christian mythology is the body of stories that explain or symbolise Christian beliefs.
There are also stories which were once taken as true but are no longer accepted by most Christians, such as the tale of Saint George.
Legendary history of the Christian churches, such as the tales from the Crusades or the paladins of Charlemagne in mediaeval romance.

 Talk:The stories of Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I propose that all the stories under Old Testament, New Testament, Parables, Acts, and Apocrypha (ie, those that derive from sacred texts) be moved to a Bible stories page, and that all the stories under "Other stories related to Christianity, but not sourced from the Bible" be moved to Christian mythology.
I agree with Cayzle's last suggestion and have removed the list of Bible stories from 'The stories of Christianity' to the new page Bible stories --TK As an illustration of Christian "[myth]", the article on Christian mythology died, was buried, and resurrected in three hours.
Hence, if we are going to change Christian mythology into The stories of Christianity, to be NPOV we must change Greek mythology into The stories of the Greek religion, and Roman mythology into The stories of the Roman religion.

 Stories of Jesus and Friends
Stories of Jesus and Friends revisits, through story, an ancient perspective of the Christian faith long lost in the logic of Sunday sermons and religious tracts.
Stories frequently emulate Aesop rather than Jesus by explaining what they mean and the consequences, good and bad, of not paying attention.
Stories of Jesus and Friends recaptures the spirit of the storytelling of Jesus by freeing stories to be told without burdening them with morals and forced interpretations.

 From Gnosticism to a contemporary spirituality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Today many religious scholars are returning to the origins of Christianity - the period before 'right belief' (which is the meaning of the Greek word, ortho-doxia) replaced the culture of experiences and beliefs.
Christian ideas, in the two centuries after Christ's death, entered a world of astonishing religious and intellectual richness and diversity.
Twentieth century thinker and clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner had similar connection to Christianity as did these artists and writers, seeing his work as a development of Gnosticism, although presented in a way that was compatible with Western consciousness.

The great biblical faiths, Judaism and Christianity, also employed them, albeit with the added twist that their stories were grounded in history.
Narrative and stories, which by definition can’t be directly observed, were pushed aside in favor of a more "scientific" way of explaining the world around us: proposition and hypotheses.
And the story it told was a big one, filled with the themes that keep popping up throughout human history: good versus evil, freedom versus slavery, the eternal struggle between fathers and sons, and, ultimately, the story of one man’s redemption.

 Samhain: Stories @ PathWalkers.Net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Long before the Christian church began to unfold its wings throughout Europe, the vampire was an established myth.
The relationship that eventually formed between vampires and the Christian God is a tale riddled with irony.
The great irony of this period is that as the Church moved to end the Pagan mythologies, it would be their own decree that would lend historical validity to the vampire.

 National Catholic Reporter: Miracle stories reveal values of a religion; modern true/false mindset asks wrong questions ...
They are, rather, the stories that religions tell about their founders and their great saints.
Each religious tradition's foundational story, along with its first miracle workers, is followed by a chapter that recounts stories of later followers and saints and their miracles, usually as shadows of the miracles performed in that tradition's "golden age."
And for Westerners, the stories of the religions of the East will lay to rest any idea that, deep down, all religions are really the same.

Christianity is not just one of many in a smorgasbord of religions from which people can choose.
Sadly, the effect of this love in our world today is less than it ought to be...not because God's love is not great enough, but because too many Christians are not loving enough.
But this does not diminish or alter the fact that Christianity is TRUTH, it is LIFE, it is LOVE...and it is why we are here.
