- What is Truth?
E1What is Truth?Of the many early Christian writings twenty-seven are included in the New Testament of the holy Bible. The authorship of the four gospels which describe the life and teaching of Jesus are of most interest but also the least understood. Here are the theories and the evidence of how the Gospels came to be. - Maintaining the Faith
E2Maintaining the FaithWe examine the letters of Jesus' brothers, James and Jude, and look at how the Jewish movement in Jerusalem led by James, eventually clashed with Paul's view of Christ. We look at Paul's conversion, and how, through his subsequent correspondences with the churches of the Mediterranean, Christianity spread out of its homeland and become a growing international movement. - But Whose Truth was the TruthE3
But Whose Truth was the TruthThis episode looks at how heresy emerged, the literature that was produced and the dangers they posed to the early the church. Few had heard on the fifty 'other' gospels that circulated and then there were the countless letters, some of them valid, others dangerously heretical. If these had made it into the New Testament, Christianity would be fundamentally different.
