From Jesus to Christ. Part 3

Description

Part three of the series From Jesus to Christ follows the story of the first attempts to record the life of Jesus: the Gospels. The Gospels were products of social and religious reconstruction in the period after the war, ranging from roughly 70 to 100 CE The program looks at how these stories were passed down before they were written, and how the writing of each Gospel reflects the experiences and circumstances of early Christians. Remarkably, they do not all tell the same story of Jesus as each one is written in response to a unique audience and circumstances. As well as the origin of the Gospels, the film explores the simultaneous growing tension between the emergent Christian groups and their Jewish neighbors - a debate that shaped both religious traditions forever.
