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.

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.

"Anthony Hopkins gives a great portrayal of Paul! He brings a lot to the character that I have never really considered in reading the Bible. I highly recommend the movie. It shows some of what the Bible describes of the relationship between Peter and Paul. The film stays pretty close to what the Bible describes (certainly taking a little artistic license) in filling in some places. Even that though is done very well."

"This is one of the very best religious DVDs that I've ever seen. The acting was superb and the story followed very closely to the Biblical accounts in the New Testament. There were very few instances of dramatic licenses taken with this film. I would highly encourage it to be viewed."

"We have watched this movie over and over again and never seem to tire of it. It is an amazingly almost perfect portrayal of the Biblical account. Anthony Hopkins and cast make you feel as though you were there!"

"Riveting! The writing is so accurate, if you are familiar with the scriptures you can locate them and actually read along. Anthony Hopkins is outstanding! The personalities of the characters Paul, Peter, John, even Caesar are well accomplished. I am addicted to this movie! The only downside might be that once you watch it, you will always picture Anthony Hopkins as Paul. This young Anthony Hopkins is so dashing, and convincing, you probably won't mind!"

"Fabulous! Absolutely worth your time. Every Christian should have this in their video collection. Anthony Hopkins and Robert Foxworth do a phenomenal job of portraying Peter and Paul."

"This is the best account of the ministry of Paul, and the best performance of Hopkins from all the many films I have seen of him. This is a definite best buy of any of his films, and the best account of Paul you will find."
