(Documentary) First 1000 Years of Christianity

History documentary from 1998. A and E channel. What television used to be.

The music and the narrators voice is so calming, wow!

I miss these documentaries on tv. I used to love the History Channel, Discovery Channel and A&E but damn, times have changed.

[dominiccsanjay]

Even as an atheist myself, I implore that documentaries like this be taught in school to help people learn about one of the most important religions in human history

Sad you only find good documentaries on youtube. Nothing but reality tv trash on television nowadays. Bring back the HISTORY Channel

Thankyou to whoever posted this.

I’ve now watched this about 5 times and everytime I lowkey hear something new that stands out. Learning more about the roots of how the ministry of the Lord has came to be what it is today is emotional for me but I get on my knees and cry out to God in pure gratitude for how far Christianity has stretched across the nations. All the bloodshed that happened for more to hear the word of God is just so overwhelming like so many lives lost and we can actually have a Bible now legally and not get killed for it, I will never get over that alone🥹💕

Brother and sisters in Christ let’s become more like the disciples and put down everything of this world to do Gods work. We need more Bold and Courageous Children of God stepping out to do Gods work ❤️

I see a great revival happening though and I’m so blessed to be on this ride 🥹 PRAISE YOU JESUS AND I THANKYOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO! 🙏 Hallelujah

I see no dilemmas or conflicts in believing that Constantine had a long and tenuous walk towards True Faith over many years. We often have such an experience ourselves. I also think that his mother Helena “worked on him” over time and probably was well in advance in terms of her Christian development.

Very interesting secular perspective on the history of Christianity. There’s more focus on the sociological aspects of the growth of the Christian faith than in some other historical summaries but there are some very useful insights to be gotten from that approach.

1:16:05 wow I’m choosing Christ every time!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[mikehebert]

Mannn this is tv grade! Wish history channel was this real

Jesus wasn't executed because of rebellion against Rome. He was executed by the Jews because He claimed to be one with God and the Jewish leaders were jealous and saw Him as a threat to their power and control

What an incredible insight into the first one thousand years of Christianity. As a born again Christian myself i have learned so much about my own faith through this documentary. 🙏

[johnpaul]

A vivid documentation of a millennium with its rise and fall, its struggles to survive for faith through the centuries. Brilliantly planned and presented. Ending with the transcending melodies was another mile stone. Hail from India. Congratulations whole team. Would love to see through the second millennium. God bless you all.

31:22 "That's like somebody not standing up for the national anthem at a baseball game. If it happens too often you could have a riot" - documentary from 1998 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[chewyjello]

Great documentary to turn down low and sleep to

[frederickherrmann]

There is a book by nearly the same name (The First Thousand Years: A Global History of Christianity) which is a must-read for all Christians. It is (c) 2012, so perhaps post-dates this documentary.

[sarahh]

If this is the same box set that I got from their website too many years ago -- it's cool as ever. Sad they got away from such documentaries.

[bondrealty]

Great documentary, I only wish it didn't have the celestial frame. It is a bit distracting. Can you post the original un-edited version?

[spicychickenstew]

What kind of church music is at the end ? It’s beautiful 🥺

[msshannonigans]

I'm about to get into this. Any narrator who says, "Last Suppah" has got my attention.

History is no joke. I was taught from My Grandmother Hortense Caruthers. GOD is about treating everyone with respect. Take care everyone.
