Jesus' Female Disciples: The New Evidence
耶穌的女門徒：新證據
The traditional story of the birth of Christianity is a male dominated affair - only men were priests and the disciples of Jesus. But now, Bible experts and historians Helen Bond and Joan Taylor lay out a striking alternative version of events, that sees women central to the origins of Christianity. But why has this pivotal role played by women disappeared from history? In a journey that takes them to ancient caves in Israel and catacombs in Italy, Helen and Joan call into question centuries of Christian thought. Were female disciples actually crucial to Jesus' mission?
基督教的傳統故事中，男性佔主導地位，牧師和耶穌的門徒皆是男性。但聖經專家和歷史學家海倫邦德和瓊泰勒，提出引人注目的另類說法，就是女性在耶穌基督的使命中居於中心地位。但女性這一關鍵角色為什麼從歷史中消失？備有中文字幕。

Getting High for God
宗教致幻劑：心靈啟迪
Religious communities in Utah and Brazil, both of which use drugs to access the spiritual world, provide some mind-bending and potentially life changing answers. This daring documentary sees Mawaan Rizwan join two religious communities – and ingest powerful hallucinogens – in the quest for spiritual enlightenment. Mawaan visits a Christian ‘Spiritist’ Church in Brazil and takes part in their ancient ceremony, which involves chanting, singing, drug-taking and (hopefully) an intense spiritual experience. Mawaan also joins the Native American Church in Utah, where the congregation use Peyote, a psychedelic drink, to commune with God. Will Mawaan find the answers he’s looking for or will he discover a darker side to spiritual enlightenment?
猶他州和巴西有兩個宗教社區會服用藥物進入精神狀態，從而製造一些幻覺或可能改變一生的答案。主持人里茲萬將坎進這兩個宗教社區，嘗試跟他們一起去尋求心靈的啟迪。備有中文字幕。

Sex and the West
基督教與性
Is a large swathe of Christianity out of step with the modern world? As society in general becomes more liberal, the Church seems more entrenched. This fascinating series explores how the religion's complex, explosive and often divisive ideas about sex, marriage and gender have their roots in an extraordinary story that began 2,000 years ago. From Mormons, Methodists and missionaries to the witch-hunts of the 16th century, the drag queens of 18th century London and the sexual revolution of the 1960s, it reveals how Christian views on sex and gender have never been fixed - they are in flux and they have been so right from the start. Even-handed, and without strident proclamation or condemnation, Sex and the West seeks to add historical context and knowledge to what is an increasingly fractured but relevant debate.
大量的限制會否令基督教與現代世界不協調？隨著社會普遍變得更自由，更凸顯了教會根深蒂固的思維。本系列探索植根於二千年前的基督教思想，對於性、婚姻和性別的複雜性、爆炸性及觀念上的分歧。從摩門教、衛理公會、傳教士、獵女巫運動、扮裝皇后到性革命，基督徒對於性和性別的觀點一直在不斷轉變。備有中文字幕。
1. From Pleasure to Sin
從愉快到罪惡
Western society seems obsessed about sex and we never stop talking about it. The constant sexual chatter is what sets the West apart from other cultures who deem it to too rude to talk about. For over 2,000 year Christian thinkers have worried away about sex, trying to lay down the law on what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to sex and sexuality: this endless debate has turned sex into a Western obsession. The trouble is, that Western Christianity has never been able to decide what to say about sex and churches tear themselves apart over contraception, homosexuality, the role of women and generations of sexual child abuse. Believe it or not the world is still steeped in Christian attitudes towards sex, early Western Christians turned it from a biological necessity into a vice, from a pleasure into a sin and we’ve been struggling with the fallout ever since.
西方社會似乎沉迷於性方面，而且從未停止談論過這話題。基督教思想家二千多年來憂慮性的問題，並試圖對涉及性和性行為立法。問題是西方的基督教對於避孕、同性戀、女性的角色、性虐待兒童仍未有定義。備有中文字幕。
2. Sexual Revolution
性革命
For the first thousand years of Christianity, Christians did not go to church to get married. Marriage was a civil contract between a man and a woman with, or without the churches involvement. In 1073 there was a new pope, Gregory the seventh and he had his own vision of strict Christian morality, and sex and marriage were at the heart of it. Huge societal changes at the time, lead kings and nobleman to realise there was more profit to be made through farming and trading. Land owners soon realised the way of escalating their wealth through the generations, was to leave their land to their eldest son, but there was often many claiming to be the legitimate heir. The issue of legitimacy was seen only to be able, to be resolved by one person, God.
最初的一千時，基督徒不會到教堂結婚，婚姻只是男女之間的世俗約定。直至一○七三年，新教皇額我略七世嚴格的道德觀，進行一連串的改革。備有中文字幕。
3. Christianity Vs The West
基督教對抗西方文化
In 1711 London finally completed its magnificent cathedral, St Paul’s. It was a monument to the wealth and power of the Christian church, but St Paul’s also symbolised a radical way of thinking that would gradually undermine Christianity’s power. The churches architect was Christopher Wren, a leading figure of the Enlightenment: a movement which used the rational powers of science and learning to banish what they saw as superstition and mindless obedience. Many church teachings came under attack, seen as oppressive reminders of barbarous medieval past. Many Enlightenment figures were Christians that loved to challenge the church and by questioning many doctrines, they helped to transform sexual attitudes and behaviour in the West. In the 18th century sex turned from a sin, into a world of sleaze and scandal.
一七一一年，倫敦宏偉的聖保羅大教堂終於竣工，這是基督教教會財富與權力和的象徵，但也代表了激進的思維方式。聖保羅大教堂建築師克里斯托夫雷恩爵士，是啟蒙運動的領導人物，此時很多教會教義受到攻擊和質疑，這幫助改變了西方的性觀念和行為。備有中文字幕。

Churches: How To Read Them
如何解讀教堂
In Churches: How to Read Them, discover the secret code built into every British church. To our ancestors, the Christian message - captured in plaster, paint and stone - would have been as immediate as a picture book. Today, the key to unlocking that code has been lost. This authoritative BBC guide reveals not only the religious symbolism that imbues sacred spaces, but also the rich social history that has bound together Church and people for so many centuries. From stained glass windows to the magnificent - or simple - fabric of the buildings themselves, everything is steeped in significance.
教堂承載著千百年來的歷史和信仰，教堂為神而建造的同時，也講述了許多人類的故事。本系列節目，將講解上千年的英國基督教藝術及其象徵意義。備有中文字幕。
1. Dark Beignnings
黑暗的開端
In Dark Beginnings, presenter Richard Taylor explains how churches were originally simple buildings intended to protect the altar and the most important Christian rite of all, the Eucharist.
英國中世紀早期只有祭壇，後來為保護祭壇和舉行最重要的基督教慶典建造了教堂。盎格魯撒克遜人與諾曼人，不願意拋開他們的前基督教過去，在教堂保留了神秘的古老異教徒圖案與象徵物。備有中文字幕。
2. Medieval Life
中世紀的生活
In Medieval Life, Richard Taylor uncovers evidence that shows how and why our parish churches came to play such a crucial role in the everyday life of the Middle Ages. He looks at how humorous wall paintings and intricate carvings were used to teach moral lessons and how carved angels in such spectacular churches as Blythburgh, Suffolk, were used to create a heaven on earth.
主持理查泰勒，揭露教堂如何涵蓋中世紀人們的日常生活。他們運用幽默和人性的壁畫、雕刻品、天使與魔鬼，把教堂粉飾得生動豐富。理查泰勒前往一座很特別的教堂，探究關於洗禮盤的一切和隱藏在受洗儀式背後的故事。備有中文字幕。
3. Medieval Death
中世紀死亡圖像
The medieval church cannot be understood without recognising that death was at its heart. In Medieval Death, Richard Taylor shows how churches were designed to give medieval people a way to escape death, with their Judgement scenes, cadaver tombs and graphic depictions of the crucifixion.
中世紀，教堂成為具影響力的機構，無論是生活或死亡都與教堂扯上關係。本節目將會探究描繪死亡的圖像，中世紀對死亡的定位，以及人們如何看待死亡的威脅及永生。備有中文字幕。
4. Reformation: Chaos And Creation
宗教改革：混亂和創造
The late middle ages was a time of destruction that still leaves its mark on our churches today. With the help of art historian Sister Wendy Beckett and a spectacular stained glass window, Richard Taylor tries to understand the intense medieval devotion to the Virgin Mary and how this fuelled the anger of the Reformation that followed.
十六世紀中期，新宗教思想席捲歐洲。亨利八世發動了毀滅性的宗教變革，其子愛德華六世創造全新的英國教會脫離教皇的控制。本節目將探究意識形態的衝突，如何使英國教堂舊貌不再，毀壞與創新如何與宗教改革相輔相成。備有中文字幕。
5. Restoration And Reason
王朝復辟和理性
Church life in the 18th century is often thought to have been genteel and rather dull, but Richard Taylor finds that churches in this Age of Enlightenment reflect the intellectual excitement, the vigour and the potential for conflict of a turbulent time.
經歷宗教改革和英國內戰之後，進入了理性和啟蒙的時代。英國教條受到質疑，科學迎來了盛世，英國教堂也展現出新世界的風貌。十八世紀是充滿創意和活力四射的時期。備有中文字幕。
6. The Victorians And After
維多利亞時代及後世
In The Victorians and After, Richard Taylor discovers how, at the height of the industrial revolution, medieval imagery and ritual make a surprise return to Victorian places of worship and plunge the Anglican Church into conflict.
維多利亞時代，見證著教堂建築的蓬勃發展，古建築換成工業製造的彩色玻璃，工業時代的教堂建築，靈感卻又源自中世紀的神秘性和象徵主義。二十世紀，戰爭的影響促使人們嘗試重建教堂，這將一直延續到數位時代的開端。備有中文字幕。

Jerusalem: The Making of a Holy City
耶路撒冷的誕生
Author and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore presents a three-part series that illuminates the history of the sacred, and peerlessly beautiful city - Jerusalem. Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. For the Jewish faith, it is the site of the Western Wall, the last remnant of the second Jewish Temple. For Christians, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the site of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For Muslims, the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest Sanctuary of Islam.
作家和歷史學家賽門蒙提費歐里，在本系列介紹神聖的絕色之城耶路撒冷。耶路撒冷是最古老的城市之一，西牆是環繞第二聖殿庭院的古城牆的殘存部份，可以說是猶太教信仰中最神聖的地點。對於基督徒，聖墓教堂是基督耶穌被釘死和復活的地方。對於穆斯林，阿克薩清真寺是伊斯蘭教的第三聖地。備有中文字幕。
1. Wellspring of Holiness
聖潔的泉源
Starting with the Canaanites, this program delves into the origins of Jerusalem as a pharaoh-ruled province, then traces its emergence as a holy site for the three Abrahamic faiths. The video discusses the evidence for its having become a Jewish city under King David, explores the construction of the first temple by Solomon, and concludes in the 7th century AD-the eve of the capture of Jerusalem by the Muslim caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab. Along the way, the program looks at the ministry of Jesus Christ and the eventual expulsion of the Jews by the Romans.
從迦南人開始，追溯至耶路撒冷作為法老統治省份的起源，以及成為三個亞伯拉罕宗教聖地的緣由。探討耶路撒冷被認為是大衛王統治中心的證據，探索所羅門王第一座建築的寺院，公元七世紀穆斯林哈里發佔領耶路撒冷的前夕的情況，以及耶穌的事工和猶太人最終驅逐了羅馬人。備有中文字幕。

3. Judgement Day
審判日
How did Jerusalem rise again after the devastation of the Crusades? This program explains how the city regained its might, becoming a center of Islamic pilgrimage, an object of rivalry for Europe's Christian nations, the focus of the longing of the Jewish people-and ultimately, the location of one of the world's most intractable conflicts. Starting in the Middle Ages, the video recounts Jerusalem's revival under the Mamluks, its conquest by the Ottomans, how the city came to be prized by the great powers of 19th-century Europe, and the eventual emergence of Zionism.
耶路撒冷經過十字軍東征的蹂躪後如何再次崛起？如何恢復威力，成為伊斯蘭朝聖的中心，歐洲基督教國家的競爭對象，猶太人最終的渴望及世界上最棘手的衝突位置。從中世紀開始，耶路撒冷落入埃及的馬木留克之手，接著版被奧圖曼帝國的佔領，來到十九世紀成為歐洲列強爭奪之地，及猶太復國主義的最終出現。備有中文字幕。

Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life
性、死亡與生命的意義
Ideas about the soul and the afterlife, of sin and God's purpose have shaped human thinking for thousands of years. Religious rituals remain embedded in the major events of our lives.
In this thought-provoking series, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins asks what happens if we leave religion behind. He explores what reason and science might offer to inspire and guide our lives in religion's place. Can science bring understanding in the face of death, help us tell right from wrong, or reveal the meaning of life?
數千年來，有關靈魂、來世、罪惡以及上帝的旨意，一直塑造著人類的思想。今日，宗教儀式仍然植根於生活的方方面面。進化生物學家理查德道金斯，將探查如果人類拋下宗教會變得怎樣？從理性和科學的層面，能否令人們對死亡得到最終的理解、區分善惡或找到生活的意義？備有英文字幕。
1. Life After Death
來世
Richard Dawkins tackles death. He investigates what, in place of religion, science can tell us about death. He brings together the latest neuroscience, evolutionary and genetic theory to examine why we crave life after death, why we evolved to age and how the human genome is something like real immortality - traits inherited from our distant ancestors that we pass on to future generations.
進化生物學家理查德將探究死亡。他會調查在宗教以外，科學能否告訴我們關於死亡的一切。備有英文字幕。
2. Sin
罪惡
Richard Dawkins examines sin. He asks whether the old religious rules about what is right and wrong are helpful and explores what science can tell us about how to be good.
理查德將在本節目中探究罪惡，他疑惑傳統宗教教條的對與錯，並探尋什麼科學能告訴我們如何能成為一個好人。備有英文字幕。
3. The Meaning of Life
生命的意義
That's the question Richard Dawkins seeks to answer as he continues his exploration of the big questions of life in a world shaking off religious faith. In a journey that takes him from the casinos of Las Vegas to Buddhist monasteries in the foothills of the Himalayas, Richard Dawkins examines how both religious and non-religious people struggle to find meaning in their lives.
理查德將繼續探索擺脫宗教信仰的大問題。在從拉斯維加斯的賭場到佛教寺院在喜馬拉雅山山麓的旅程中，理查德將探討宗教和非宗教人士，如何努力尋找他們生命的意義。備有英文字幕。

The Common Lot
瀕死經歷
Light at the end of the tunnel, dear ones greeting us, a feeling of eternal well-being. More and more people who have returned from death’s door claim they have experienced a Near Death Experience (NDE). NDE refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations including detachment from the body; feelings of levitation; extreme fear; total serenity, security, or warmth; the experience of absolute dissolution; and the presence of a light.
Given their bizarre similarities with certain notions of the Christian faith, the Catholic Church is in the witness box. What do these NDEs mean? Do they confirm or contradict the Christian faith? Should we take a fresh look at our notions of judgement, hell, purgatory and paradise? Witnesses, scientists and clerics give their views and lift a corner of the veil.
隧道的盡頭有光體，死去的親人在招手，擁有永恆的幸福感，愈來愈多聲稱從死亡之門回來的人有以上的體會。他們經歷了稱為瀕死體驗的現象。瀕死體驗包含多種感覺，包括靈魂出竅、極端的恐懼、寧靜、安全或溫暖等。瀕死體驗對於基督教和天主教信仰上有何含意？科學家和神職人員將有各自的解說。備有中文字幕。

Catholics
天主教徒
In a new series of three episodes, we go behind the headlines
that have come to define the Catholic Church to explore what
it is actually like to be Catholic in Britain today. Each of the three
episodes is an intimate portrait of a different Catholic world, revealing
Catholicism to be a rich but complex identity and observing how this
identity shapes people's lives.
本系列分別從三個不同的身份角度，看今日英國天主教會，教徒豐富而複
雜的身份，如何塑造出人們的生活。備有中文字幕。
Episode 1. Priests
神父
As the Catholic priesthood struggles to recover from the scandal of child abuse, numbers of men applying to join have fallen greatly. Just 19 men were ordained in England and Wales in 2010. In this first episode, we meet the men who still feel themselves called to this role, including funk band roadie turned first-year student, Rob Hunt. A cradle Catholic, Rob ignored his faith for years before deciding his life was veering off course. With little education, he thought he had as much chance of becoming a priest as becoming an astronaut. Today, surrounded by boxsets of The Sweeney, he is adapting to seminary life. The episode follows the seminarians through a timetable which ranges from Biblical Greek to lessons on how to live a celibate life. Everything builds towards priestly ordination when the seminarians believe they will be fundamentally altered as human beings, only then able to celebrate the Eucharist and perform the act that is central to Catholic life, the transformation of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
天主教神職人員正努力從虐兒醜聞中恢復過來，加入教士行列的男士數目下降， 二○一○年只有十九人被任命。然而，有些人堅持成為神職人員，當中有放克音樂的樂隊管理員，他現正適應修道院的首年生活。備有中文字幕。
Episode 2 - Children
兒童
This episode focuses on the children of St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School in Chipping, Lancashire. The tiny rural school has 33 pupils, six of whom are preparing to make their First Holy Communion. Viewers will observe the essence of Catholicism being distilled into young children. Encouraged to celebrate the riches of the natural world and to remember those less fortunate than themselves, the children are also required to reflect on Christ's brutal death and resurrection. Occasionally, this graphic story of suffering might seem to threaten the children's infectious charm and innocence.
蘭開夏郡的聖瑪麗天主教小學只有三十三名學生，其中六人正準備第一次聖餐禮。幼童接受天主教教義所教化，鼓勵分享大自然給予的豐富資源，還要記住那些比自己沒那麼幸運的人，孩子們也需要反省基督的死而復生。備有中文字幕。
Episode 3 - Women
婦女
This final episode looks at Catholic women about how Catholicism has shaped their lives. With remarkable behind-the-scenes access to Westminster Cathedral, this is a moving and intimate film meets with the female staff, volunteers and congregation of the cathedral. Rose is second-in-charge of the cathedral's sacristy, preparing the altar for six daily masses and making sure the priests have all they need. It's like running a busy train station. A convert, Rose is the consummate 'handmaid of the Lord' for whom Catholicism is an anchor in life. Jennie, on the other hand, is a cradle Catholic who feels her education by nuns was repressive, with an unspoken emphasis on sex - and especially abstaining from it. She feels her Catholic 'indoctrination' was a cross for her generation to bear. Despite that she staffs the cathedral's information desk once a week and feels her Catholicism is a valued part of her identity, having developed over the years into an appreciation of the spirit of faith more than the letter of the Church.
在威斯敏斯特大教堂工作的女性工作人員，義工和教堂會眾，她們是如何的日常生活是怎樣的呢。露絲是教堂聖器收藏室的第二負責人，她要準備每日六次聖壇彌撒的東西。她的工作十分繁忙，無私奉獻給教會。而珍妮每週一次在教堂的信息服務台工作，她十分重視她的天主教身份。備有中文字幕。
