 Good Exposure November 18, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've always been interested in history but never read about Christian history except tangentially. These dvds provide a decent chronology especially as to the first 1000 years and they provide important details I was not aware of: St. Ignatius returned to school with adolescents to learn Latin, etc., so as to be allowed to preach; Nicea was prompted by Constantine's desire to publish 50 collections of what today we call the Bible; Pope Gregory enforced a very unpopular decree that (married) priests must be celibate; etc. Well worth the time.

 good pre-modern history of christianity November 5, 2007
This was overall a good video on the historical development of Christianity (pre-20th century). The part on
Christianity in the 20th century was very weak.
really good, not great May 13, 2007
I learned a great deal of history through the 400 minutes of video in this series, and I thought I already knew a lot! I liked it overall and I think it's something that everyone should watch. My only complaints were that there are a couple of times that they weren't completely accurate, or mispresented something, such as making it seem like the canonization of the books of the Holy Bible were done hastily at the demand of an Emperor.
I also wish that there were more acted out scenes. Through most of the video you're looking at artwork or scenery, and it's not always pictures of what they're talking about, which was weird.
Still... my rating is a 4 because I think it was really good, just could've been better.
Interesting January 21, 2007

It was nice to watch an objective look at the first 2 millenia of Christianity. There are no punches pulled here. There is no glorification of the religion; it is an honest look at the largest religion in the world, from its beginning to current day. It does not make Christianity look bad, nor does it make it look good. If you are looking for an unbiased look at the history of the church, buy this.
 wonder program poor production January 6, 2007
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
sadly this is wonderful program, but A & E dvd do not work all dvds and there is defects with in the dvd. I have decirded to live with them, but for this price I paid it was not right. A & E/history channel knew that not all dvd players can use their dvds and they do not put waren so people know that is possble not going to work. This is wonderful program and i love it, but dvd was not good. They clear do not care to treat all custmers rightly.
