Christianity: a history

Christianity: a history is on the whole proving to be a very helpful and interesting series. If you've not been following, its on sunday evenings at 7pm. Tonight's episode on the crusades was very good, showing the muslim's deep sense of history and the "west's" almost ahistorical-ism. I also thought the episode on constantine was very good, demonstrating the very mixed blessing of christianity becoming the official religion of the Rome empire. Next week is the reformation, with episodes on christianity and africa, christianity and science and the future of christianity also still to come. Well done the programme makers and channel 4 for producing such a good series.
