Drawing historical evidence, viewers are transported back two thousand years to the time and place where Jesus of Nazareth once lived and preached and challenges familiar assumptions and conventional notions about the origins of Christianity. This episode traces the life of Jesus of Nazareth, exploring the message that helped his ministry grow and the events that led to his crucifixion around 30 C.E. The rise of Christianity is examined and concludes with the first revolt--the bloody and violent siege of Jerusalem and the beginning of a rift between Christianity and Judiasm. The broadcast explores new evidence suggesting that Jesus' followers, because of their diversity and the differences in their cultures and languages, looked at and interpreted Jesus and his teachings in many different ways.
