It's hard to say. Jesus is central, but God the father is the essence of Christianity - as it was he who sent Jesus, it was he to whom Jesus atoned for humanity's sins, and it is he to whom Jesus directed his most famous prayer, saying "when you pray, pray like this...." before he spoke the words which we know as The Lord's Prayer..... which starts "Our Father...."

In the King James version of The Bible

the word - father - appears 979 times

the word - father's - appears 148 times

the word - fatherless - appears 43 times

the word - fathers - appears 538 times

the word - fathers' - appears 10 times

430 of those are in the New Testament.

Is it important for people to study Christianity?

Yes, it is important to study Christianity, but not necessarily for the purpose of becoming a Christian. It is important to study merely because it is good to have a well-rounded view of the world, and to understand and accept all people as equals.From the Bible's viewpoint:Yes, it is important to study Christianity, because it represents things related to the Creator sending his Son to earth, to redeem mankind from the effects of sin, sickness and death. Not only is it important to 'study' Christianity; it is highly important to 'practice' it, if you wish to receive its promises. Christ promised everlasting life to those who follow Him. Studying about Christianity helps you to see what Jehovah God requires from mankind, in the way of righteous standards. Christ tells mankind what is 'righteous' and what is 'unrighteous' from his Father's standpoint.
