First broadcast in 1998, “From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians” is an exploration into the life and death of Jesus, and the men and women whose belief, conviction, and martyrdom created the religion we now know as Christianity. Drawing upon historical evidence, the series challenges familiar assumptions and conventional notions about Christian origins.

The Greatest man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called him master. He had no degree, yet they called him teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called him healer. He had no army, yet kings feared him. He won no battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today.

I wish there wasn’t so much religious turmoil in the Middle East because this would be a fascinating area to visit as a Christian.

As a Muslim and a follower of Islam I show my love and respect to my Christian brothers and sisters. No matter if we have different beliefs at the end of the day God loves all of us. Love and respect to Christianity as a Muslim ☪️❤️✝️

I've been atheist since I was about 8 I'd say, but was brought up Anglican. Now I'm 31 I feel like I'm only just appreciating how the message of Jesus can be a powerful force in one's individual spiritual journey and to better oneself I'm not quite at the stage where I'll be yelling from the rooftops about it, but I just want to learn more about it and use him as an example to be a better person and try harder to contribute to my community

What I love about jesus that he was with poor, the needy, children, women. He taugh people to be rich spiritually. Today people want to be rich spiritually with money some that will never work.
-
Even as a non believer, I find Christianity and the topic of religion in academics to be fascinating
-
Always felt better after watching this document. Who doesn't love Jesus? Jesus represents love, kindness, and forgiveness. And Jesus loves to drink wine.

Faith is evidence of things unseen things that are hoped for, blessed are those who believe without seeing Hallelujah and Amen

"I am a Jew but I am enthralled with the luminous figure of the Nazarene... ...No man can read the gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus." Frases Albert Einstein
-
The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them.
-
Thank you so much for all the work and effort you put into this documentary. God bless you and your staff members who put all this together for us!

Some of these experts lack knowledge. "Paul was more famous than Jesus because of his writing?" He wrote about Jesus, and the entire New Testament is about Jesus. "Early Christians were attracted to rituals." This was a free will movement, and countless people died for that belief. I was not attracted to Christianity or any of the rituals- I mocked them. Now I am in love with Jesus because the living God visited me, I received the Holy Spirit and was completely changed.
