The First Christians - History and Evolution of Christianity

[Winston]

Check out this great PBS Frontline documentary called "From Jesus to Christ - The First Christians". I saw it long ago and learned a lot from it. It's very informative and talks about how Christianity evolved in the first century with Jesus and Paul, and features Biblical scholars, theologians and historians commenting. Many of the experts interviewed were participants in the Jesus Seminar. The history of early Christianity is told from a secular point of view, not a Christian one.

Here is parts 1 and 2 on YouTube. Each part is almost two hours.

And its sequel documentary called "Christianity The Second 1000 Years".

Both are 3 hours each, so it's a very extensive documentary.
