Description

In the Footsteps of St. Peter - Join beloved actor David Suchet (of PBS’s Poirot series) as he embarks on an epic journey from Galilee to Rome in search of the Apostle Peter. In this major two-part documentary series produced for the BBC, Suchet explores how a humble fisherman, known for his stubborn and impetuous personality became a leading figure in the early church, playing a key role in keeping the movement from splintering. Suchet travels from Peter’s humble Galilean birthplace to Jerusalem, where a terrified Peter denies his beloved friend and teacher on the eve of the crucifixion. Encounter Peter’s miraculous transformation on the day of Pentecost and explore the question, what happened to Peter after he mysteriously vanished from the biblical account? The series follows the biblical account to reveal the miraculous life of one of the most important figures in church history.

The Story of the Twelve Apostles - They started out as average, unexceptional men of their time: fishermen, farmers, local magistrates. But their dedication to a prophetic Jewish preacher in the backwaters of the Roman Empire transformed them into revolutionaries and, in the process, changed the world itself in ways that would reverberate across time for two thousand years. Now, discover the extraordinary, untold stories of the men chosen by Jesus to bring God's plan to the world. Among them are Peter, who denied Christ three times but later became a "Rock," James and John, the fiery tempered "sons of thunder," Matthew, the tax collector later murdered by cannibals, Simon the Zealot, the anti-Roman fanatic eventually "cut to pieces" preaching in Spain, and Judas Iscariot, whose betrayal would be paid for with silver and suicide. From their early fear and discouragement at the shock of the Crucifixion, to the final acceptance of the resurrection and their epic mission to spread the Gospel through the known world, it's an inspiring, astonishing story of the little-known men who became The Twelve Apostles.

Archaeology and Jesus - No place on earth has arrested the attention of adventurers and archaeologists like the Holy Land. But does what we dig up in Israel bear resemblance to the stories that we read about Jesus in the Gospels? To answer this question, Archaeology and Jesus follows two paths. You’ll explore the process of archaeology with the top experts digging in Israel today. And along the way you’ll join New Testament scholar Dr. Craig Evans as he reveals groundbreaking finds that illuminate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Exploring Ephesus - Join Expert hosts Dr. Andrew Jackson and Dr. Mark Wilson as they explore one of the great biblical regions. Walk in the steps of the apostles along ancient Roman streets and pass through marble gates into the wonderfully excavated city of Ephesus whose extensive ruins resound with millenia of history. Take an excursion by boat to the Isle of Patmos where Christ revealed his apocalyptic vision of the end of days. Visit the ruins of pagan temples once dedicated to the gods of Greece and Rome and explore a hidden cave where early Christian believers worshipped the one God. Exploring Ephesus combines the fast-paced adventure of a travel show with truly rich biblical scholarship and relevant spiritual insights.

The Man of Galilee - The Sea of Galilee is shaped like a harp. It's just 21 kilometers long, 13 kilometers at its widest and lies 200 meters below sea level, with an average depth of just 25 meters. In the first century, there were over 200 towns and villages around the Sea of Galilee, and over 250 boats fished its waters. The Galilee was a thriving agricultural region and was the setting for much of the mission of Jesus Christ. In Nazareth, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Tiberias, Tabgha, Magdala, at the Mount of Beatitudes and along the Jordan River, Keith Garner explores the ministry of Jesus in the context of first century life, explains biblical stories, and considers the questions asked of Jesus by his followers and adversaries, and which challenge the Christian faith today.
