Christianity In World History (1963)

The film discusses the historical rise of Christianity from its origins in ancient Palestine to its significant influence in Europe by 1000 AD. It explores the factors that contributed to Christianity’s growth, including dissatisfaction with Roman polytheism and the appeal of Christian teachings. Key figures like St. Peter and St. Paul played pivotal roles in spreading the faith, despite facing persecution, particularly under emperors like Nero and Diocletian. The conversion of Constantine marked a turning point, as he ended Christian persecution and promoted the faith, leading to the establishment of the Nicene Creed to unify Christian beliefs. The film also examines the division of Christianity into Eastern and Western branches and its enduring impact on European history through the Middle Ages and beyond.
