Plot

Egyptologist John Romer explores the acceptance and beautification of the Bible at the end of the Roman Empire in Testament: The Bible and History -- The Power and the Glory. With the establishment of Christianity as dominant Western religion, the Bible became a massively important tool both in and out of church. For most, it was the only book from which to teach. This was enforced when art and architecture mirrored Gospel stories. Romer visits the Hagia Sophia, an enormous example of Christian glorification. He also journeys to the Chartres Cathedral to see some of the most splendid Bibles ever made. Historically, the documentary closes with the printing of the Gutenberg Bible. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
