The Christian Centuries was a BBC Radio Four series presented by Brian Redhead. The series traced developments over the course of centuries centring round certain charismatic personalities.
In an obituary note, written by Tam Dalyell for The Independent, Dalyell said that he had told Redhead he thought the radio series the best thing Redhead had done, and that he had agreed and wanted to pursue more such material.[1]

- Constantine the Great
- Jerome
- Leo I
- Benedict of Nursia
- Hilda of Whitby
