Watch The Full Program Online | From Jesus To Christ - The First Christians | FRONTLINE Drawing upon historical evidence, the series challenges familiar assumptions and conventional notions about Christian origins. Archaeological finds have yielded new understandings of Jesus' class and social status; fresh interpretations have transformed earlier ideas about the identity of the early Christians and their communities. Through engaging on-camera interviews with twelve scholars--New Testament theologians, archaeologists, and historians--the series presents their contributions to this intellectual revolution. For example they talk about the quest for the historical Jesus - what can we really know? The scholars together represent a range of viewpoints and diversity of faiths and a shared commitment to bring new ways of thinking about Christianity to a public audience. HOUR ONE examines how Judaism and the Roman empire shaped Jesus' life. While Rome defined one dimension of Jesus' world, the other was symbolized by the great Temple in Jerusalem.
