History of Christianity, A (TV Mini-Series)

Synopsis: In this fascinating six-part series Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch, one of the world's leading historians and Professor of History of the Church at St Cross College Oxford, explains how Christianity first spread through to the Far East. He explores the extraordinary and unpredictable rise of the largest single body of Christian devotion in the world, the Roman Catholic Church. As the series progresses it charts Eastern Orthodox Christianity's fight for survival after its glory days in the eastern Roman Empire and looks at the Reformation, the rise of Protestantism, the evangelical revival and the American-led rise of Pentecostalism.
