Christian Biographies

Christian Biographies

Christian Biographies is dedicated to bringing Informative and Accessible Introductions on Christians who have impacted the faith throughout the past 2000 years. Whether you're a student looking to start research or just someone into history; these videos help you start in the right place.

The time periods covered are split between 0-500; 500-1500; 1500-1900; and 1900-Present. Our goal is not to focus on one group or sect, but to create biographies for a wide range of beliefs within what is considered the Christian faith. Because of this, there are people we will cover that may be regarded as Heroes to one group but Heretics to another.

Who to look for? Benedict of Nursia, Justin Martyr, William Tyndale, Charles Finney, Francis Schaeffer, Dominic, Karl Barth, John Knox, Karl Rahner, James Cone, Thomas Aquinas, Elizabeth Fry, Stanley Hauerwas, etc.

We encourage any feedback, but we hope that we can create a community of conversation and exploration without judgment and condemnation.

    This is so fake. Why are you including LGBTQ+ in a CHRISTIAN martyr’s so called biography. I don’t mean ANY disrespect to those who are a member of the community but the story of Perpetua has NOTHING to do with LGBTQ. I hold her story close to my heart and the fact that you’re turning a poignant story into something it isn’t is disgusting. You did gain a dislike from me. Well done.

    I was studying the Council of Nicea, and came across your video. I agree with the 315 rather than the 3 who opposed the final wording. There is an Athanasian creed written around 500 AD, which would be after Athanasius passed away. To believe Jesus was a created person would give much less meaning to the New Covenant, and would diminish or destroy Mary being Theotokos(mother of God). It would also diminish the importance of praying through Jesus to reach the Father in Heaven(God), and would also separate Jesus from the holy Spirit. In other words, it would invalidate at least half of our faith and half of the Bible. Therefore we must accept and believe Jesus is consubstantial with the Father and regard his decrees, instructions and commandments as sourced from God in Heaven.

    The European west prospered because of following the examples of the Bible which they took with them when they migrated to Americas and applied the same principles because if which they prospered to the currrnt srage. But sadly the youngsters of today have so much FREE-DOM that they have FORGOTTEN how hard their ancestors worked to make the west to bring to the current state as uf all they have now has dropped down from the sky and thry are the conttollers of even the rights of the individual.

    Thank you, the video itself was fine as a podcast it was informative. I can't say I have any respect for the subject. Being an Australian I can only say I wish she'd never set foot on this soil. And as for the SDA church, they're nothing but a money making greedy bunch of Bible bashing thieves like all so called Christians. They've made a fortune out of fake food and paid no tax for all these years. They've just helped make people fat and sick and then they've had to pay the SDA hospital and doctors to get well again. A brilliant circle.

    More! More!! This was such wonderful information but, is there a long version of the life of Athanasius? He went through so many different things that it’s hard to grasp it all in a short version in 12 minutes. You do a wonderful job on these videos. I just finished Anthony of Egypt, which led me here. I also would like to have a list of others who were living a hermit type life BEFORE Anthony because it says he learned from others. 😊

    Thank you for this wonderful video. Other accounts of the council of Nicea say that the version of the creed you displayed was not the version approved by Nicaea. From "we believe in the Holy spirit" ..... was unchanged from the apostle's creed after nicaea. That change came from the council of Constantinople in 381 and Toledo c447 ? ?

    out of interest - any one here ,in regard to TULIP beleive T .. but not U L I P ? i present beleive that we are born of sinful seed of Adam and are therefore sinful.. meaning we all produce sin... sooner or later all sin. to clarify ..i beleive a baby is born ..sinful but not a sinner . but will in time (as we observe 100% of the time) sin and therefore become a sinner . But i do not beleive the rest of the tulip list . i also beleive when a person is reborn the old sinful creature is buried into the death of Christ and raised up a NEW creation born of a NEW seed . and henceforth is under NO irresistible compulsion to sin. Meaning , we have the ability to do so but never ever HAVE to, nor can a born again person be forced beyond their own will to knowingly commit sin.

    Overall, it was very informative - although I don't appreciate the speculation advanced by pagans/laodiceans. I understand this is you just offering the overall viewpoint and it is appreciated. But in general, CHRISTIAN marytyrs such as Perpetua should not be spoken ill of which seems to be the case from the LGBTQIA+ community. It's just wild that people who don't truly study Scripture as we're told to want to draw on the books of First and Second "Opinions" ...

    Thank you for this history. It explains A LOT I was NEVER told when I was a CoC'er. So at 19:25 you stated a CoC heresy... "denomination" They will very quickly verbally slap you and say they are NOT a denomination. (CoC dogma) Yes A.C. was the start of CoC's in America and across the world. They will deny it vehemently because it is (in their mind) not true. But yet... its is demonstrably true. The Romans 16:16 CoC kept the laws of God (including the Sabbath) but Mr Campbell didn't. Neither do the modern day CoC's. So they through incredible levels of denial, dogma, and pretext they want to distance themselves from A.C and Mr Stone and cling to ANYTHING in the N.T. that says "Church of Christ" and "First day of the week". Studying History is very eye opening to the truth. Shalom from an ex-CoC;er and now believer in Messiah Yeshua.
