Item Description...
Description
He was originally a powerful and implacable enemy of Jesus, determined to stop the spread of Christ's message. But then his dramatic conversion changed him and changed the course of history. From his education in Jerusalem under the Rabbi Gamaliel to his exhortations on behalf of Christianity throughout the Mediterranean, The Story of Paul the Apostle, presented by The History Channel, explores the life and legacy of the greatest missionary of the early church. Theologians reflect on the importance of his upbringing to his success in spreading the Word, and an in-depth analysis of his writings — some of the earliest Christian documents extant — shed light not just on the origins of Christianity, but on the man who helped ensure its survival. Follow in the footsteps of Paul of Tarsus — The Man Who Turned the World Upside Down. DVD Features:

 | Great Movie in spite of History Channel Dramatizations May 15, 2007 |
For those wanting to gain better knowledge about Paul this is a good primer. It would have been a great film if the History Channel's production of it was less...History Channel. Martin Sheen narrates this movie that is part documentary, part history exposition, part speculation.
The film covers Paul's Pharisee origin, his encounter with Christ, his journeys, his controversies with Jews, limited portions of the Epistles and the time he wrote them, and even mentions his controversial death. While I would have appreciated more detail regarding the Epistles, this was decent enough to recommend to folks who have no knowledge of Paul. Biblical scholars could also appreciate this as it mentions Paul's latter years via other historical texts outside of the Holy Bible.
The only reason outside the limited discussion of all Epistles I rate it less than a 5 is because of the History Channel treatment via overdramatizations. The overdramatizations were some of the contemporary images of Paul, some of the music, and "reenactment footage", i.e. Paul being lowered over a wall to safety with the crowd was ready to kill him. All of these things at times detracted from the story. Also, while it is hard to tell any Biblical story sequentially and chronologically, this video made a serious attempt at least keeping the evangelical journeys in order. | | | Write your own review about Story Of Paul The Apostle
