EPIC: Israel & Italy (Episode 1)

The Epic documentary series takes you on a journey with Tim Challies to twenty-four countries, visiting dozens of museums, cemeteries, libraries, houses, monuments, and more. From pulpits to paintings, the labor of monks to the martyrdom of missionaries, this film, directed by Stephen McCaskell, offers an immersive travelogue introducing you to thirty-three key objects that help tell the history of Christianity. In this episode, Tim visits Israel and Italy to study the history of the early church and the time of the Protestant Reformation.

That final remark about how Jesus Christ has "no headquarters, no temple, no pope" is such a profound truth. We are "His temple, His representatives..."

Excellent all around! #soliDeoGloria

So enjoyable. Thank you Mr. Tim for this.

Amazing observation and conclusion- the Church of Jesus Christ has no headquarters- we are the Church and are in every nation and tribe. To God be the glory forever and ever 🙏🏾

Thanks Tim for sharing this video. Very interesting and enjoyable. I like it that you make it clear that there really is nothing holy about some of these places you visited.

[C.D_Morey]

Awesome stuff! I can’t wait for the next episode!

That was some very fascinating church history

The small font chosen for ‘did you know’ and locations/objects was too small and could not be read on any of the videos. Interesting overall info, but the series felt ‘rushed’ throughout. A little heavy on ‘following the guy with the backpack’ footage. Needed more location time footage for interiors.

7:00 pro etiquette tip for you buddy.. you should moved aside and let that girl pass through the doorway first 🤔 don't just squeeze past people like that 🧐

Tim - kudos for an interesting and well-constructed video. But as an Israeli, I think you missed a lot. Your visit to MacDonalds (even if it was the kosher one) is a metaphor for your visit. You concentrated on what you already know, not what's out there to learn. You missed the real story of Israel - which is important to understand, if you want a deeper insight into your own Christian faith. The real story is that the Crusaders were an episode -a violent one that murdered and destroyed many Jewish communities, both in Europe and the Holy Land. Jerusalem and israel is all about the eternity of the Jewish people, the fulfillment of God's promises and faithfulness.

Tim, oh Tim, that's just too North American - to eat at McDonald's all over the world! Did you really miss the opportunity to enjoy local food?

[brentnelson]

So sorry about your burger :(
Quite sad.

Gee we know where the tomb was. It's called the Holy Sepulcher. You stood in it. Scholars agree with the historic apostolic churches about this. The Garden tomb is a nice place but only Protestants believe it may be where Jesus was laid in the tomb.

Not "clash". Integration. Maybe try Rome. Israel is not really for you.
