Re: Christianity a History
TBH as I believe in evolution, creationism doesnt appeal. In today's society where science has a strong hold to believe in an omnipotent being is in my personal belief a bit hard to swallow.
Whilst I have no qualm with any form of religion persay to follow a 2000 year old nursery rhyme is a little strange to say the least.
I shall not have the time to tune in as I'm a waiting on the 72 virgins and moses to pop round for a fish supper and a glass of vino tinto and a crusty loaf

No mention of creationism,virgin births or Moses in this first show.Just an examination of the impact of the birth of Christianity on Judaism and the resulting persecution of the Jews of Europe.
Interesting to hear what Jews actually think of Christ...

Re: Christianity a History
I'm a bit dubious about some of the presenters but the first episode was good.

Re: Christianity a History
On a similar vein, has anyone been watching ' Around the World in 80 faiths'? I missed some of the second but I really enjoy watching Pete Owen Jones - not your typical Anglican priest.
In the first episode he went to the funeral of a woman who died 20+ years ago and went to a witches coven in Sydney.

Re: Christianity a History
Around the world in 80 faiths is available on series stack IIRC. I like Peter Owen Jones as a presenter, he did something very good two or three years ago.

Extreme Pilgrim is the other one of his I've seen. Excellent series.

Re: Christianity a History
Found a BBC Four clip of Pete OJ in 2005, looking somewhat different

Re: Christianity a History
Never heard of Extreme Pilgrim, what I watched was The Lost Gospels. That was 2006 or 2007 I think and has been repeated since. Sounds good though.

Yes, why let finding out about something get in the way of a good prejudice...... 
The program is about the history of the Christian faith, looking at its origins, development and turbulent past - not about it's validity/relevance.

There is little relevance of the christian faith in my life and there certainly isnt no need to validate a 2000 year old nursery rhyme.
If people need to believe in something then that's fine but lest we forget that Christians were the biggest war mongers that this planet has probably seen.
Repressing peoples belief's by getting them to convert to Christianity\Catholicism by any means.
