The Early Christians
The blood of the martyrs was
the seed for new Christians.
But after the persecutions of
the Romans and the barbarian
invasions came another grave
danger for the new religion:
heresies... They would not be
lethal. On the contrary, they
provided the opportunity to
define the essential truths of
Christian faith, consolidating
the roots of a millennial
Church. This in-depth new film series produced in
Europe explores this amazing story of the witness of
the early Christians and the spread of Christianity.
