Peter & Paul And The Christian revolution DVD

Description

2000 years ago, in the Roman province of Judea, Jesus was crucified by imperial troops. Thousands before him had suffered the same fate but, unlike them, Jesus did not disappear from history. Instead, his memory was kept alive by a small band of Jews - men and women who held fast to their conviction that he was the Messiah. These early Christians faced powerful obstacles. The might of the Roman Empire and the dangerous politics of Jerusalem lay a heavy burden on those who believed in Jesus. But the new faith would not die. Very soon this new religion would transcend its humble origins and absorb the capital of the Empire itself. With the words of Paul and other ancient writers, interviews with scholars and dramatic re-enactments, Peter & Paul and the Christian Revolution explores how two men weathered crippling disagreements and political persecution to lead a movement that would transform the world.
