Before exemplifying why, I would like to make clear the significance of the word "exceptional".
Common sense has had "exception" to be regarded the same as "statistical outlier".
However, that is not the context in which I am using the word. In fact, I am positive about the all-inclusiveness of Christianity.
I am using the word "exceptional" here to signify "continuing reception", in observation of its certainty.
Any knowledge taught by text-based references has mainly two methods of deliverance. Orderly progression or alternating progression.
Orderly progression is simple chapter continuity. From first chapter, to second chapter, to third chapter and unto the very last chapter, page after page without any page skipped or postponed in lieu of a page further ahead.
Alternating progression does not have such strict requirements. It may skip the first chapter, it may skip all chapters but one, it may skip no chapters and include all of them through a particularly chosen order.
Christianism, the teaching or advocacy of Christianity, uses the method of alternating progression. Its first precept is that within the Holy Bible (the guidance for life, the reference for knowledge), Jesus Christ is the most important person along with God and the Holy Spirit. However, Jesus Christ only comes to be in the Holy Bible after more than 30 books of the Old Testament, some books with only 5 chapters, other books with more than 100. (There are many versions of the Holy Bible because of its transnational applications)
That is, in the trinity that makes Christianity, Christ as the ultimate reference, coming to be only after so many other delineations, and God as the primary reference, coming to be in the very first chapter of the Holy Bible, Christianism provides an aim of relief, motivation and confidence in the deliverance of such a complex and grand work such as is the Holy Bible, having established centuries and yet promoting many more.
