This standard of writing aims to make WikiChristian significantly different from some of the other useful sources of religious information. For example, encyclopedias such as the online [[Catholic Encyclopedia]] and [[Theopedia]] have very useful resources but individual articles are often written using very technical and dry language. WikiChristian's '''Information Articles''' ideally should be written using simple language to explain difficult concepts. Furthermore, if an article evokes emotion and passion for Jesus in a reader, then it is all the more successful.
Some examples of pages that hopefully reach this standard include [[Christianity]], [[Old Testament]], [[Denominations]] and [[Church]].
→Writing Style of Information Articles
In general, '''Information Articles''' should be written in a manner that makes them clear and easy to understand. Theological terms should be explained. '''Information Articles''' should be accessible and understandable to a person who has never had theological training. However, the aim of an '''Information Articles''' is that it should also be useful for a person who has studied theology.
