Christianity in World History (to 1000 A.d.)

Uses dramatizations, sculpture, paintings, and scenes of ancient ruins to picture the historical background of the rise of Christianity, its role during the final centuries of the Roman Empire, and its role after the Empire until the schism of the church in 1054. Includes the development of the Nicene Creed under Constantine's leadership, significant writings by St. Jerome and St. Augustine, and the role of Christianity in stabilizing Europe during the barbarian onslaughts.
