SECRETS OF THE CROSS

'Secrets of the Cross' is an exciting new four-part series for FIVE, uncovering the tantalising mysteries at the heart of the Christian tradition. Stories that have shaped Western culture are scrutinised in the light of compelling new evidence.
 
The series builds on the fascination for critically re-examining the 'gospel truth' that 'The Da Vinci Code' kick-started. Stories that we learnt at Sunday school are critically re-examined by world renowned scholars as the series strips back the layers of history to reveal surprising and provocative truths. 
 
'Secrets of the Cross' eschews the familiar reverential treatment of biblical history; it's a fast-paced modern day quest. The subject may be the ancient past, but the investigation is in the here and now, amidst the tourists and traffic, the hustle and bustle of modern day Jerusalem and Rome.
