Material type:
TextSeries: A history of christianityPublisher: [S.l] : BBC, c1996Description: 1 videodisc (58.45 min.)Subject(s): Church history | ChristianSummary: When he was a small boy Diarmaid MacCulloch's parents used to drive him round historic churches. Little did they know that they had created a monster - the history of the Christian Church became his life's work. Now, no other subject can rival its scale and drama. Sweeping across four continents, Professor McCulloch goes in the search of Christianity's forgotten origins. He overturns the familiar story that it all began when the apostle Paul took Christianity from Jerusalem to Rome. Instead, he shows that the true origins of Christianity lie east, and that at one point it was poised to triumph in Asia, maybe even in China. The headquarters of Christianity may have been well Baghdad not Rome. And if that happened Western Christianity would have been very different.
