Description
Christianity - The First Thousand Years:
It is an epic beyond anything Hollywood could imagine, embracing emperors and itinerant preachers, the teachings of a man accepted by millions as the Savior and the battles fought in His name.
From the Crucifixion to the coming of the Crusades, CHRISTIANITY: THE FIRST THOUSAND YEARS traces the rise of one of the world's great religions. Scholars explore the intertwined fates of the Roman Empire and the faith it first persecuted, then adopted. Theologians reveal how the New Testament was shaped, and how pagan festivals were transformed into Christian holidays. And examine modern discoveries that shed new light on the dawn of Christianity.
Drawing on ancient texts, the Scriptures and visits to sites like Istanbul's magnificent Hagia Sophia, this is a spellbinding journey through CHRISTIANITY: THE FIRST THOUSAND YEARS.
Christianity - The Second Thousand Years:
It began with a wandering Jewish preacher and a message of love. One thousand years later, Christianity reigned unchallenged as the dominant religion in Western Europe. But the struggles faced by the faith were far from over.
A panoramic journey through ten centuries of belief and conflict, THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY: THE SECOND THOUSAND YEARS chronicles not just the events and personalities that left indelible marks on the landscape of faith, but also the forces behind them. From the Crusades and the Reformation to the sweeping changes of Vatican II, each fascinating episode is illuminated through extensive use of historical documents, commentary from renowned scholars, and visits to the sites where history was made.
Dorian Harewood and Gloria Foster as "The Voice of History" narrate this spellbinding account of Christianity's evolution from the Dark Ages to the 21st century.
