The Christians of the Middle East [500 - 900AD]

While Christians were spreading across the Roman world, they were also spreading east, in Mesopotamia, Persia and Arabia. Here, however, their story was different. Without the Constantinian conversion, they remained under the rule of non-Christian powers, first the Sassanian Persian kings, then the Islamic Caliphate. In this series we will dive into the Christian monasteries and villages of Mesopotamia. We’ll meet the martyrs and missionaries under the Persians, and tell the stories of Christians in Arabia and Baghdad at the dawn of Muslim rule.

The Saints, Kings, and Poets of Medieval Britain [400 - 800AD]

Italian missionaries landing in Canterbury, Irish monks setting up monasteries on far-flung deserted islands, Germanic Warrior kings converting to Christianity; this series tells the story of the early Medieval English Christians. We’ll meet the historians and theologians who preserved this period for us in their writings alongside kings and queens who abdicated their thrones to join monasteries. What was it really like being a Christian in, what the Romans called, the dark isles of ‘magic and monsters’? And how much can we really know about their faith?
