Definition
The quality, state, or degree of being Christian; the extent to which something embodies Christian principles or character.
Etymology
From 'Christian' + '-ness' (Old English suffix forming abstract nouns indicating quality or state). This noun emphasizes the essential nature of Christianity.
Kelly Says
Theologians debate 'Christianness' constantly—is it about what you believe, how you act, what community you belong to, or all three? It's one of Christianity's core identity questions.
