The Founding of a Faith consults ancient texts and modern scholars to chronicle the first centuries of Christianity, when Rome tried to destroy the new religion while converts spread the gospel throughout the Mediterranean. Follow in the footsteps of St. Paul, perhaps the most important early shaper of Christian belief. Learn how James, head of another branch of early Christianity, may have been related to Jesus. And see how even Emperor Diocletian's violent persecution of Christians could not check the growth of the faith that would be adopted by his successor.
