More Detail:
PEOPLE OF FAITH: CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA is a well made, enlightening history of America from its birth to the present time. The series is six episodes, 30 minutes each, on two DVDs. It’s filled with inspiring stories and insightful expert commentary.
The first part of the series discusses the founding of America and the strong Christian underpinning of the republic. Then, it moves into the abolitionists, some of the Christian infighting, the social gospel, and the pro-life movement. The most powerful aspect is the final episodes, which pick 10 significant Christians in American history, including Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Archbishop John Joseph Hughes, Ronald Niebuhr, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Billy Graham. The series ends with Billy Graham on TV exhorting people to come to Jesus Christ to be saved.
In the process of discussing these people, People of Faith tries to take a strong evangelical view as well as mainline and Catholic perspectives. There’s even a brief discussion of Islam. Even so, the bottom line is, the series focuses on faith in Jesus Christ.
