differing variant beliefs of christianity (1 Viewer)

[heyabuddy]

hi guys,
ive got an assignment and im finding it really hard to get information on. basically i have to contrast the principal beliefs of catholicism ie (divinity and humantiy, death and resurrection, nature of god and trinity, revelation and salvation.) with protestants but im finding it difficult to do as the beliefs do not differ a great deal.
if anyone could help it would be appreciated.

hmmm.... it scares me when you say that you couldnt find anything on the differences between catholicism and the protestant churches becasue their differences are immense!!

the problem you may be facing is that each different variant within Protestantism has its own different beliefs on the issues that you are searching for. It may help you by searching specifically for single protestant church beliefs and then using all that to make perhaps a compare and contrast between the protestants by finding the similar aspects which can then be compared and contrasted with the beliefs of catholicism.

have you tried looking in the Macquarie Study Guide? I know in that there are tables where the differences and similarities are outlined. Or use wikipedia.

Couldnt have said it better myself!

Am assuming that this is for Yr 11 so the resources section on BoS may be a bit useless but you could have a look....

Wikipedia is a good (but long winded) place to start. I would start by looking for comparative charts on the net like

http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_capr.htm
http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/charts/catholic_protestant.htm
(this one will answer your question I think)

Amazing what happens when one "googles" it.......
