Encounter Christianity brings together strong visual images with a series of intriguing, open-ended questions that help develop children“s spiritual awareness and encourage a creative response to the central themes of Christianity.

In Encounter Christianity - In Words about Jesus children find out about Jesus as a person through the words that he spoke and words others said about him. This book links to the “big“ book Encounter Christianity - To Change the World, and to two other small books, Encounter Christianity - In Questions about Jesus, and In Journeys about Jesus.

Suitable for use by schools and Sunday schools for children aged 7-11, the series supports RE teaching at Key Stage 2 (with a natural progression from the Key Stage 1 series); includes teacher notes that provide background, practical ideas and Bible texts; and provides creative resources to support QCA Schemes of Work for RE.
