Care

One of the values most widely accepted in western culture is that we should care for others. In Jesus' day, the Greco-Roman world was a brutal place for those without family to support them but Jesus showed a new way to care for the lost, the last and the least. This impacted the followers of Jesus so deeply that they went on to change the world.

Leadership

In the Greco-Roman world, humility and service were not viewed as virtues. It was not until the first century that humility was written about as something to be admired. From an historical perspective, Jesus taught that the first should be last and demonstrated the ultimate act of humility by dying on a Roman cross for all of humanity.

Education

The idea that education is a right for every person is a fairly recent development in human history. A key motivation for education across the centuries has been that everyone ought to be able to read the Bible. It has been Christians and the Church, committed to this aim that has lead to the development of schools and universities.

Reason and Science

Science and religion are often believed to be in opposition but this episode explores the compatibility of science and faith in God. The viewer will be introduced to some of the most famous scientists in history who were also people of faith. The discipline of scientific exploration is therefore not at odds with a belief in the God of order and design.

Justice

One of the themes of the Old Testament, which was unique for that time, was God's heart for justice. This was fulfilled in the life and teaching of Jesus and carried on by the Early Church. Over the centuries, the church has not had a spotless record in this area but people such as Martin Luther King Jr stand out as champions for justice.
