Robyn Faith Walsh is Associate Professor of the New Testament and Early Christianity at
the University of Miami, Coral Gables. An editor at the Database of Religious History, her
articles have appeared in Classical Quarterly and Jewish Studies Quarterly, among other publications. Her first monograph, The Origins of Early Christian Literature: Contextualizing the New Testament within Greco-Roman Literary Culture was recently published with Cambridge University Press.

Christianity in Five Minutes offers insights into a number of commonly held questions about the origins, development, practices, texts, and theology of Christianity. As with the broader Religion in 5 Minutes series, this volume provides an accessible and lively introduction to the subject matter through a series of general questions, succinctly answered by experts in the field. Ideal for both classroom use and general interest, some of the questions addressed include: What is a virgin birth? Are Christian relics real? Were Jesus and his followers Christians? Why are there so many different Christian denominations? What does the name “Christ” mean? Did the Gospel writers know Jesus? What is resurrection?
