Free Timeline of 1st Century Christianity

The past is shrouded in a fog for most people. What was really going on in the 1st century during and after the life of Christ and the birth of the Catholic Church? Here is my simple Timeline of First Century Christianity.

I created the Timeline to help my students understand their Catholic heritage. It highlights the key events that occurred during the first Christian century. Understand your history!

My Free St. Paul Timeline and Info on our St. Paul Cruise

Since many people are unfamiliar with the life and timeline of St. Paul and his epistles, I am posting my St. Paul Timeline so everyone can get the big picture.  Feel free to print and use for personal use.

When I was teaching my series on the Acts of the Apostles (see the audio CDs here), I decided to create this Timeline for my own use, to help me keep track of his life, his journeys, and writings all in order.

I also have several talks on St. Paul, which you can see here.

 

 

“The Longest Day” in Prep for our own landing on Beaches of Normandy!

This week Janet and I are leaving for Paris France. Our group will follow us a few days later where we will be touring the Saints and Shrines of France. We will also be visiting Normandy where D-Day took place 81 years ago on June 6, 1944.

I will be posting daily YouTube videos so you can join us virtually

Today we are watching that spectacular movie entitled “The Longest Day” which chronicles this spectacular  battle of the Allied Forces against the Nazis.

Amazing that we will be there in person again on the very beaches where our men fought and died before we go to the cemetery to honor them. Makes me proud to be an American!

One scene that was especially moving was when the priest lost his Mass Kit in the river after he parachuted in. He kept diving into the river and would not leave until he found his kit it under the water.

If you haven’t seen this movie and appreciated what our country did in those dark days, I highly recommend you watch the movie. You can rent it at Amazon movies or iTunes for $3.99. I think every big star in Hollywood at the time is in this movie.
