Patricia James Shame on those claiming there is no proof Jesus said the things the Bible said he did. Nowadays there may not be as much evidence BUT there IS evidence of Both the existence of Jesus AND of the many things he said and did. But sadly, the non-believers ONLY see what they want to see and disregard anything that dares contradict their childish opinions. Oh and Jesus was NOT saying that Peter was the rock. Duuuuuuh! On your words......................HELLLLO?! Peter's words were "YOU ARE THE CHRIST!" So CHRIST is the Rock! NOT Peter! Duh! I can't believe how incredibly ignorant so many people are. smh

Otic C I wish they had mentioned that basically none of the storys presented in this series is in any way proven. For example the quote that "on this rock i will build my church..." was probably never said by the historical jesus (whose existence is a whole other story). The man believed that the end is near, so he had no reason to build a church that would last for millennia. In 3 out of 4 gospels this sentence is not included. After 10 minutes I was out of this show. This is missing all of the actually interesting historical questions. They should have talked to some scholars who are not as affiliated with church as those featured or at least the better informed ones within church. What this series presents as the beginning of christianity is just a world of make-believe.

thomas-athanasius I got 5 minutes into this piece of trash before I gave up on historical accuracy1) It says that Christianity was illegal. No, it wasn't, in general. The Jewish authorities were threatened by it, and would cause trouble, blaming the Christians. So Christians would be blamed for civil unrest, not for their beliefs. The Neronian persecution was not throughout the empire, but in the city of Rome only, because Nero needed a scapegoat.2) Some alleged scholar claimed that Rome was the ONLY city with an apostle. But, prior to Rome, Peter was resident in Antioch. Andrew was resident in Byzantium. John was the leader of the church in Ephesus.A little bit of historical research could have easily corrected these errors. "Scholars" interviewed couldn't be bothered. I, therefore, can't be bothered to watch it.
