Simply Christianity is a five-part course based entirely on the Gospel of Luke. The goal of the course is to surprise and challenge ordinary people ('churched' or 'unchurched') with the unique story of Jesus Christ as told by Luke.
The methodology of the course is simple: let the Gospel tell the gospel! The course closely follows the outline and themes found in the Gospel of Luke. It begins with a study on the reliability of Luke (and the Bible generally) as a reporter of true events. Then, as Luke introduces us to Jesus, we are confronted with the surprising authority and power of Jesus- an authority and power that is unique in both its extent and its purpose.
Within the parameters of Luke's Gospel, leaders will have the opportunity to raise the questions they want to raise, to answer the questions that arise in their special context, and to apply the material in a way that seems most fitting for their particular group of people.

Review by Christopher Greenhall | 24.03.2008
Our fellowship continues to use Christianity Explored (CE) as its main course for enquirers - with good results. It is not the best way for some, however, who may struggle with the question/search/answer/conclusion method of "exploring" - we are hoping that the Simply Christianity (SC) approach of teach/show/big idea will be of more help to such people. Trial runs with 4 potential leaders and a group of critics have been most encouraging and we look forward to using SC alongside CE "for real" in the near future.
A very useful product for enquirers
Review by Peter Davies | 04.02.2008
Christianity Explored, our basic enquirers course, doesn't suit those that can be intimidated by group investigations.
This course is great for those who want to hear, ask their own questions, or simply digest what they've heard. Useful extra material included. Only 5 sessions make it useful for fringe and baptism enquiries
