Christum = Christ, not Christianity
Both answers above implicitly assume that "Christum" is a typo for "Christentum", which is not impossible, but very unlikely, since in this case the definite article would also be missing (the sentence should then read "wofür er das Christentum halte").
However, "Christum" is "Christus" in the accusative case (cf. Duden), so there is no need to assume two typos, and the sentence should read something like this:
"...if a Saracen asks a Christian who he thinks Christ is, the Christian should reply..."
