Christianity from Judaism to Constantine:
Crash Course World History #11
Published on Apr 5, 2012
In which John Green teaches you the history of Christianity, from the beginnings of Judaism and the development of monotheism, right up to Paul and how Christianity stormed the Roman Empire in just a few hundred years. Along the way, John will cover Abram/Abraham, the Covenant, the Roman Occupation of Judea, and the birth, life, death and legacy of Jesus of Nazareth. No flame wars! Let's keep the commentary civil.
This video is awesome. It does a great job explaining the history of Christianity in an easy and entertaining way. This is important because when people think about a course on religion they think it is boring, but this is a great way to learn an important topic in an entertaining way.
ReplyDeleteThis video is very informational yet entertaining. The questions I liked, which John Green answers later, are: why did a small group of people believe Jesus was the Messiah and why did this believe become so widespread. Also, prior to watching this video I didn't know that Jews at that time had a believe that a savior would come in a time of trouble yet they still didn't believe in Jesus and that was because Jesus became a threat to the people in power.
