Christianity: A History
8x 48m Co Production with CTVC for Channel 4
"Christianity: A History" is a major eight part series,
presenting alternative views on the history of Christianity. Each
film is authored by a different presenter; some are believers, some
are not - but from Howard Jacobson to Rageh Omar to Cherie Blair,
each has a deeply personal reason for taking part. Each
thought-provoking film will investigate a key moment in
Christianity's history, from its birth in Palestine, through its
conquest of the Roman Empire and its conversion of Britain; from
the bloody legacy of the Crusades to the intolerance and division
of the Reformation; from its global expansion at the barrel of a
colonial gun to the devastating impact of Science; and finally
through to its future prospects in the world of the 21st
century.
