1: The Key Is Constantine
There is a message beyond common sense which has been carried down the centuries by a wild confusion of characters - emperors, geniuses, holy prostitutes, gourmet hermits, sharp-witted abbesses, multi-murderers, madmen and poets. That message imprinted itself on the world nearly 2,000 years ago on a hill called Calvary.
In this 12-part theological relay race, Brian Redhead follows the road which leads from the end of the classical world to the beginning of the renaissance.
He begins with Constantine, the emperor who had a relic-hunting mother, a fondness for blond wigs and two nails from the true cross.
