Item Description...
Ephesus, Antioch, Tarsus, Galatia - an illuminating visit to the New Testament!Apostle Paul and the Earliest Churches is a brilliant and illuminating production (documentary). Begining with his conversion, it reenacts Paul's missionary journeys on Anatolian soil (modern Turkey).
This film contains an archeological treasury: mosaics, frescoes, statues, amphitheaters, agoras, tmples, and more. The historical, religious, and archeological background of each Anatolian region in which Paul preached the gospel is explained. Yet Apostle Paul is more than an archeological or historical survey; this production's reinactment of the miracles Paul performed, the difficulties Paul encountered, and the persecution Paul faced beckons the viewer to experience with the Apostle himself the birth of the Christian Church.
The film's archeological emphasis is enhanced by 3D animated maps and footage of Antioch on the Orontes, Pisidian Antioch, Ephesus, Tarsus, and other cities important to Paul's ministry. Significant artifacts from a variety of Turkish museums are also discussed

 | Apostle Paul and the Earliest Churches Jul 13, 2009 |
The first 35 or so minutes of the 48 minute video were very good. The last part was defective. I ordered a replacement with the same result.
Both copies were sold as new and I can only conclude that the master is in some way defective | | |  | Follow Paul Making History Sep 16, 2007 |
Apostle Paul and the Earliest Churches
The movie Apostle Paul and the Earliest Churches blends three factors
1) Narration of the biblical accounts
2) Actors in costumes acting out the narration
3) Travelogue of the current locations indicated by the journeys.
The camera shows ancient ruins and modern day activities along the journeys of Paul. The views of the many archeological sites make this film a special treasure.
Plus there are good computer graphic maps to help appreciate where he went. It is amazing to notice how far Paul traveled and especially by ship.
The three missionary journeys are presented and the ruins of the many churches along the way. It was to these churches that Paul wrote the letters that came to us in the Bible as the epistles. So the movie gives a visual and historic context to the epistles also. Together the book of Acts and the epistles make up much of the New Testament.
The motion picture gives the many events of the book of Acts has a greater context. This aids in appreciating the cross cultural challenges Paul faced plus the challenges of traveling under primitive conditions.
Here is the account of how one man in a few years was used by God to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and start dozens of churches. That set into motion what became the major world religion of Christianity. World history teaches us that Christianity and conflicts surrounding it have greatly impacted western civilization for two thousand years. Church history tells the tale of the changes in how the faith was understood and practiced as denominations emerged over the centuries. Yet much of this has roots in what is shown in this picture.
The movie could be appreciated by new Christians as well as those who have studied the Bible for years.
Teachers and preachers could use short clips to introduce a lesson or illustrate a point.
Christian schools would be wise to put this into the collection of their library.

| A quick guide and fairly accurate guide through most of the New Testament and gives a helicopter view of Paul's journey and ministry during the first century of Christianity. These were the earliest churches and shows the historic and Jewish roots of the Christian faiths that had been suppressed either ignorantly or deliberately. An excellent summary to the new testaments especially for new believers. | | | Write your own review about Apostle Paul And The Earliest Churches
