About the Book Administration in Christian Churches refers to the control of the people that come under the jurisdiction of the church (including bishops, priests, nuns and lay employees), as well as the assets of the Church (which can include religious and non-religious administrtative building and a range of other assets). In the Catholic Church, for example, the supreme administrator and steward of to all ecclesiastical assets is the Pope, through the primacy of his governance. However, Papal administrative authority is exercised primarilly through the Congregations of the Roman Curia and other similar administrative bodies. Also in this Book Christian theology is the theology of Christian belief and practice, the study of which concentrates on the texts of the Old and New Testaments, and on Christian tradition. Christian theologians utilize biblical exegesis, rational analysis and argument in their studies.

Over the centuries Christian theology has permeated and influenced much of Western culture, especially in pre-modern Europe.
