Program: #04-15 Air Date: Apr 05, 2004
With the current interest in the story of Christ's Passion
rekindled by the recent popular film, we examined over three weeks how the story was told during the first twelve centuries of Christianity.
Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant in honor of Ed and Billie Lesh.
