Peter and Paul- DVD
Anthony Hopkins stars in this epic network
television mini-series 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. Pauls travels to Asia Minor and Greece,
Peter and Pauls clashes over Jewish law, and Peters decision to
follow in Pauls 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.
