| 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."
