Brief Description
Anthony Hopkins stars in this epic network television mini-series brings to life the precarious existence of early Christianity.
Anthony Hopkins stars in this epic network television mini-series that brings to life the precarious existence of early Christianity. The new movement is beset by violent opposition from without and constant turmoil from within. Two key leaders emerge -- Peter and Paul -- who struggle to keep the faith alive. This dramatic presentation follows the pair, together and separately, through three epochal decades. Included are the stoning of Stephen, the road to Damascus, their encounter in Jerusalem, their conflicts over how the word of Christ should be spread. Paul’s travels to Asia Minor and Greece, Peter and Paul’s clashes over Jewish law, and Peter’s decision to follow in Paul’s courageous footsteps. The drama concludes in Rome in approximately A.D. 64 with the beheading of Paul and the crucifixion of Peter under Emperor Nero.

Allstar Cast/Enlightenment of Early Church
Posted By:
James EI have seen movies on the book of Genesis such as the 10 commandments and the Bible in the beginning about Noah but have not seen a dramatic epic concerning Paul, Peter and the early church. The viewing of Peter and Paul was a way to actually see what the book of Acts portrays in words. From the Allstar cast starring Anthony Hopkins to the detail of the villages and settings, this DVD will bring you along with Paul on his journey and trials. The acting was very good and the best part I thought was the accuracy according to the scriptures. I am going to order a copy and give to my Pastor as a gift as this viewing has given me a fresh appreciation of the early church and has reminded me of my first love, our LORD JESUS CHRIST, as I ask the question what can I do for him and how can I do it?

Best Biblical based film
Posted By:
Christopher EThe book of Acts comes to life in this movie. Hopkins brings passion to the character of Paul that you could only imagine actually existed. The script draws directly and meticulously from Acts and Paul's letters to such detail that you can actually discover some scriptural topics from the movie, yet it never seems forced. It's not only my favorite Bible movie, it's one of my favorite movies altogether.

ElvinAfter I watch this movie, my spirit is motivated to preach and minister to others, despite persecution. What great heroism (role models) and sacrifice for Christ this movie does portray with Biblical accuracy.

susieActs 9:18 said, "And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received sight forthwith,and arose and was baptized." Why was this left out in the film?
