The Greatest Story Ever Told!

Whether a great teacher or the son of God, no-one can deny the profound impact that Jesus of Nazareth has had on history, with Christianity growing to become one of the world’s great religions and Christian thought sculpting the face of modern Europe. A 15 hour, 8 DVD HISTORY™ boxset, ‘The History of Christianity’ traces the epic story of Christianity from the events of Jesus’ life through to the present day, from the stories of his Apostles to the Crusaders’ battle to reclaim the Holy Land.

Hosted by Roger Moore, the two volume ‘In the Footsteps of the Holy Family’ traces the journey of Jesus, Mary and Joseph following Christ’s birth, visiting the sites made sacred by the holy family’s presence during their flight to Egypt.

‘The Story of the Twelve Apostles’ reveals the extraordinary stories of the men whose dedication to a prophetic Jewish preacher changed them into radicals and revolutionaries; from Peter, the rock upon whom the early church was founded, to Judas Iscariot, whose name has become synonymous with treachery.

‘The Story of Paul the Apostle’ examines the life and legacy of one of the early church’s most intriguing figures, whose dramatic conversion transformed him from an implacable enemy of the Christians to their greatest missionary.

‘The Crusades: Crescent & The Cross’ is a two volume exploration of the epic clash between Christianity and Islam for control of the Holy Land. Featuring breathtaking special effects and exciting reenactments, the series brings the treachery, heroism, murder and bloodshed of the Crusades to vivid life.

‘Christianity: The First Two Thousand Years’ tells the epic story of how a wandering preacher’s teachings gave rise to a faith followed by millions. The first DVD charts the intertwined fates of Christianity and Rome, revealing how the once-persecuted faith became a state religion. Meanwhile, the second DVD takes the story onwards through another ten centuries of belief and conflict, as events such as the Crusades and the Reformation shaped the religion we know today.

The DVD is out now and sells on Amazon for £17.99 (RRP £29.99).
