A Recommendation for The Odyssey of St. Paul VHS/DVD |
|
"A superb resource for any one studying the origins of
Christianity and the critical role that Paul of Tarsus played in those origins.
Beautifully filmed on location in the very places where Paul lived and walked,
it enables the viewer to visualize the entire career of one of the most
significant men of history. Its fidelity to the evidence of the New Testament
about this man's life, both historical and theological, makes it a superb tool
for individual and group Bible studies...Dr. Maier brings to bear on his
recounting of Paul's life a wealth of extra-biblical knowledge, derived from
literary texts from the ancient world and archeological discoveries. This
interweaving of biblical material with evidence from the other sources makes for
a compelling celluloid study...I recommend this series to believers everywhere
who want to deepen their understanding of the roots of their faith. It is a
tremendous tool for learning about a key figure in the history of the early
Church as well as the passion that gripped his life--the glory of God that
shines in the person of Jesus Christ."
