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.
