4 tapes,    Each tape has two parts. (Each part is about 45 min.)  sa
This is the human experience of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Each culture of the world has created its own

as well as Russia, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
V 1228.1 Part 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.
         Part - 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 experience Christ in their own ways.
V 1228.2 Part 1 - Jesus in Modern Europe

              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

         Part 2 - 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 it faces a significant new migration - the Muslims.
V 1228.4 Part 1 - 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.
         Part 2 - Jesus in Africa
              Christianity came in the 19^th century with legions of missionaries who met with limited success. Black leaders
              such as Desmond Tutu and Simon Kimbangu fused the universal message of Jesus with the traditions of
