BBC - A History of Christianity (2009) Part 1 The First Christianity

Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch reveals the origins of Christianity and explores what it means to be a Christian.

Part 1 The First Christianity

Diarmaid MacCulloch goes in 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, showing that its origins lie further east, and that at one point it was poised to triumph in Asia. The headquarters of Christianity may well have been Baghdad not Rome, in which case western Christianity would have been very different.
