History of Christianity

This Study Guide accompanies the BBC’s fascinating A History of Christianity. The DVD is like a tour of time and space, a story of the collision of personalities, events and ideas about a living faith. The Study Guide will enhance your experience with discussion and supper suggestions and small moments of worship. You’ll find there are some historical facts included along the way. But this isn’t just for history buffs. There’s no test at the end ‐ not even a quiz! This study guide is more about using history as a path to meaning and insight in our own times, and in our own local church.

Each of the studies corresponds to an episode of the BBC documentary. The episodes are an hour each and the study will take another half hour. Then there are some recipes and suggestions for a shared supper – with history and geography on the menu!
