From Jesus to Christ recounts the life of Jesus Christ, the events that occurred after he died, and the hardships his first followers faced while teaching his message. The story is told not from a religious angle per se, but is effectively presented in a historical, sociological, and humanistic manner by today's leading New Testament academics. Drawing on the latest, and often controversial, historical evidence and interviews, the documentary vividly transports the viewer back to the times of the Christians whose belief, conviction, and martyrdom would create the movement that would turn the Roman Empire upside down in the next three centuries. --Rob Bracco

Customer Reviews of From Jesus to Christ - The First Christians
Dull and biased - but gets better as it progresses I found the first part of this documentary so aggravating and unrelievedly dull that it was a pain to watch. Here were a bunch of know-it-all scholars, all of whom seemed to slant to the left and who viewed Christianity as an engaging myth and Christ as a sort of socio-political hero. (Just take a look at the title - it is implied that Jesus was just a village carpenter who was deified after his death). But as I watched the later parts - particularly the one dealing with the Gospels, the Jewish revolts, and the early Church - my interest was captured and I learned quite a lot. Perhaps this video as a whole would have been better without the first part (dealing with Christ's life and death). Yes, this video is strictly from a historical-sociological point of view, and I don't think that any truly religious viewpoints are represented. But even if you are a believing Christian of any denomination (I happen to be a Catholic), you could learn something from this video. But I stand firm on the absolute DULLNESS and monotony of the background music.
