Description: "With the millennium comes Two Thousand Years; a more in-depth and evocative study of the history of Christianity than ever before. In volume one of this lavish companion to the major London Weekend Television series, conceived and produced by Melvyn Bragg, Peter Partner tells the story of the birth of Christianity from its Jewish roots in the first century, to its spread through the Roman Empire and beyond, the loss of Jerusalem to Islam and the reconquest with the first crusade in the eleventh century."--Jacket.
