Ancient Roads from Christ to Constantine

Hour one begins in Bethlehem and travels throughout the Holy Land. With the Gospels as our guide, we join our host Jonathan Phillips as he traces the incredible journey of Jesus from his birth, ministry, passion, and resurrection.

In hour two we meet the man whose transformation is one of the most compelling in history, the Apostle Paul. We journey with Jonathan Phillips as he re-traces Paul’s bold quest to bring the Christian message to Asia and Europe, a quest which would see him imprisoned, beaten, and on the brink of death.

We travel with Jonathan Phillips on Paul’s third and final missionary journey as the Apostolic Age comes to an end. We witness how the remaining apostles, except for John, are martyred for their unwavering beliefs. In Rome, Paul and the Apostle Peter, will both meet their fate in the hands of one of the cruelest tyrants in history.

In hour four, the city of Jerusalem will be rocked by war. Then we travel to Patmos Island where John was exiled and visit the cave where John wrote the most enigmatic book of the New Testament, Revelation. We witness the crucial battle where powerful heretics claiming special knowledge of Jesus threatened to distort, divide and even to destroy the Christian faith.

Host Jonathan Phillips treks to North Africa to tell the story of Perpetua, a young Christian martyr, whose extraordinary story still resonates today.

In our last hour, we see how Rome exerted its fullest effort to eradicate Christianity. But both emperors and empires had fallen exhausted, while the faith grew stronger. It would be the conversion of one man that would fully transform the fortunes of the Christian Faith. He is known as Constantine the Great. This is his incredible story.
