Event Details : The Foundations of Western Civilization – a video presentation. The next two lectures of the series are as follows :

Lecture 23- Jesus and the New Testament
No well-informed observer in the time of Augustus and his successors would have predicted that a world-changing movement would arise in a small, poor, and insignificant region of Palestine. But that is what happened.
Lecture 24- The Emergence of a Christian Church 
The word "church" (ekklesia) occurs only twice in only one of the Gospels (Matthew). Yet Paul, whose letters predate the Gospels, uses the word routinely. This intriguing fact is your gateway to the fascinating history of early Christianity.

Background : The Foundations of Western Civilization – an education in 24 evenings.  An Attic video presentation from The Great Courses taught by Prof. Thomas Noble, University of Notre Dame.
You can discover the essential nature, evolution, and perceptions of Western civilization from its humble beginnings in the great river valleys of Iraq and Egypt to the dawn of the modern world.
This series of 48 half hour lectures - 2 per evening will be introduced by an eminent professor/personality who will also answer questions.
