Empires: Martin Luther

History & Documentary

Empires: Martin Luther part of the PBS series Great Religions Take a fascinating look back into the history surrounding popular religions and you will find much written about Martin Luther and Frederick the Wise. Frederick was thought to be all powerful in terms of religious leaders of his era and he perceived Martin Luther as being a useful kind of weapon to be used against the papacy as well as the church. Luther was revered for his teachings and strong held beliefs. Among Martin Luther's serious flaws were the fact he was a violent man who tended to inflame nobles, commoners, and kings with his diatribes against Old Faith ideals and some New Faith members as well as Jews. It became well established however that once he captured their ear he could find supporters who only pleaded to him that he tone down his rhetoric and his rage. Luther studied the bible extensively and learned much then passed on what he had learned to all that would listen. Much has been written about Martin Luther and some inaccuracies are always to be expected. This well narrated program shows him as a man of faith but somewhat flawed in character.

If your interests run to exciting battles among fierce samurai and shogun warriors or the calming exotic and beautiful geisha in a historic period of time the PBS program titled Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire will most definitely be appealing. Going back to the sixteenth century in which Japan is seen to be a warlike society that is ruled by daimyo warlords and the violence committed by samurai warriors is a daily occurrence. In 1543 Portuguese merchants, who were the first Europeans to arrive in Japan, found themselves to be welcome as they set about converting that nation to Christianity. At the same time a low ranked daimyo family member was born and became a samurai called Tokugawa Ieyasu. He is held as a hostage during much of his childhood and when finally released takes claim on his family domain. Empires come and go but this one lasts for almost 250 years before peace and prosperity take the place of violent rulers who claim control over the lives of many. Once the isolation of this great country is overthrown they begin to prosper and modernize their way of life.

Empires: Kingdom of David

History & Documentary

Illustrious names behind this documentary style miniseries include the narrator Keith David and voices of F. Murray Abraham, Rene Auberjonois, and Derek Jacobi. Human history was changed by the Jewish faith and Israelites according to the thesis of this program. While slaughtered and persecuted for many years because they believed in one god (the popular belief then was in multiple gods) the Kingdom of David remained solvent and united as they concentrated on making sure their traditions and history records were passed down. With strictly held moral values and Jewish laws they persevered. Much of the filming took place on the exact grounds on which original events occurred. Episodes of the well received television program Empires: Kingdom of David have included "The End of Days", "By the Rivers of Babylon", and "The Book and the Sword" and each of which notably covered a specific period in Jewish history. The Kingdom of David is part of a documentary series from Public Broadcasting with the title of Empires.
