Christianity: The First Two Thousand Years is a 6-hour 40-minute historical narrative of the Christian religion produced by FilmRoos for the A&E Television Networks in 1998. It has since been updated in the 2000 and made available by the network as a boxed set of two DVD discs that can be purchased either from the network's Internet store site or in many retail book stores. Each disc within the cardboard box has its own separate plastic case and is broken down into 24 chapters that encompass a little over 1,000 years of Christian history. The first disc details the first thousand years while the second disc details the second thousand years. There is some overlapping of events between the two discs for continuity's sake.
