I found this in Wikipedia - a summation of Christian beliefs. Do you think this sums them up, leaves out anything critical, or is even correct?
  1. At some point in the past, humanity chose to depart from God’s will and began to sin.
  2. Because no one is free from sin, people cannot deal with God directly, so God revealed Himself in ways people could understand.
  3. God called Abraham and his progeny to be the means for saving all of humanity.
  4. To this end, he gave the Law to Moses.
  5. The resulting nation of Israel went through cycles of sin and repentence, yet the Prophets showed an increasing understanding of the Law as a moral (not just ceremonial) force.
  6. Jesus brought perfect understanding of the Mosaic Law: that of love and salvation.
  7. By his death and resurrection, all who believe are saved and reconciled to God.
 
Actually, in a nutshell it would be Love God with all your heart and love your neighbour as you love yourself.

I wouldn’t define Christianity as it has been defined here, though.
 
It might describe Christianity in a nutshell but certainly not Catholicism.
 
We already have “Christianity in a nutshell.” It’s called the Apostle’s Creed.
