Key Doctrine- The key belief in the Christian faith is that Jesus was crucified for the sins of others and he was God's son. He was resurrected 3 days after being buried. This is the foundation of belief for Christians and from it grows the problem of sin and solution of repentance. This also solidifies Jesus' role as Messiah and a holy figure that was the son of God. The entire faith stems from this miracle and the fact that Jesus died for our sins.
Eschatology- This is the part of Christian theory that describes the end of history or the apocalypse. This results in how Christians strive for salvation and to be forgiven for their sins. This will grant them eternal life and life in heaven instead of hell. The apocalypse is viewed as the end of God and the violent destruction of the world in Christianity.
Schools of thought- There are many schools of thought in Christianity under different umbrellas of thought and branches. These all differ in slight ways through interpretation or belief. These specific divides have created many denominations under which Christianity is practiced at slight or major differences and separated the religion. In my opinion, the divides in the religion separate practitioners and result in the confusion of authority to divine figures, for example the Pope. Culture has greatly influenced practitioners and each denomination; specifically Catholicism and the strong connection to Roman tradition and worship.
In conclusion, each doctrine results in the direct or indirect practice of ritual and celebration. Each doctrine may be analyzed differently and several denominations are the result. The culture of Christianity remains strong and the link between organization and authority will differ to each sect.
