Jesus Experience, The (2002) Rating: Starring: Jesus Experience Director: Category: Documentary Studio: Questar Subtitles: Length: 360 mins     Christianity around the world This is the human experience of Jesus-the Messiah, the Son of God. Each culture of the world has created its own expression of Christianity. Those expressions sprang from ancient Israel, the Roman Empire, the Mediterranean, as well as Russia, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Volume 1: Jesus In the Roman Empire In Palestine, a faith is born filling the hearts, minds and souls of humankind. Apostles Peter and Paul led believers to become martyrs, monks, philosophers and finally emperors. Volume 2: Jesus in Early Europe Despite the darkness of the Middle Ages the growth and success of the Church can be attributed to individual men and women, like Francis of Assisi and Hildegard of Bingen, who experienced Christ in their own ways. Volume 3: Jesus in Modern Europe By the 1500's, Western Europe was frenzy of energy, invention, commerce and faith. A new human experience of faith is founded by the words of Luther and the actions of Calvin-and Protestantism is born. Volume 4: Jesus Among the Slav's When the Prince of Kiev embraced Eastern Christianity, he tied together the beliefs of the Orthodox faith and the country of Russia in a union that continues today. Both the people and their Savior experienced a common suffering that bound them. Volume 5: Jesus In Latin America When the Spanish and Portuguese came to Latin America, indigenous societies were annihilated and societies were crushed. In spite of the cruelty, natives embraced the Christian beliefs of their captors. Volume 6: Jesus in North America America is a direct reflection of Protestant culture-a social experiment that continues today. This "promised land" absorbed an influx of Catholic believers and now faces a significant new migration-the Muslims. Volume 7: Jesus in Asia Asia has the lowest percentage of Christians in the world, yet it is home to the world's largest church. Nowhere has the Christian message been so persecuted and so welcomed. Volume 8: Jesus In Africa Christianity came in the 19th century with legions of missionaries who had limited success at converting souls. Black leaders such as Desmond Tutu and Simon Kimbangu fused the universal message of Jesus with the traditions of African culture, making it the fastest growing region of Christianity in the world.
