Description : The Book of Acts come alive in this epic covering the years 30-69 A.D.
Comes complete with a study guide on both discs providing a 12-week course of study. 6 hours on 2 DVDs
Filmed on location in the Middle East and Europe, A.D. vividly depicts the rising confrontation between the mighty Roman Empire, Jewish Zealots, and early Christians. Painstakingly researched by award winning producer Vincenzo Labella, this compelling mini-series blends Biblical narrative with historic incidents and engaging fictional characters. Rejoice with Christ's disciples at Pentecost, and cry with them at the stoning of Stephen. Watch the church grow - Saul is dramatically converted, Peter performs wonders, and Philip baptizes the Ethiopian. Witness the barbarous treatment of Christians at the hand of Roman leaders, and finally, marvel at the great triumph of the Church, despite persecution and the martyrdom of Peter and Paul. Performances from an all-star cast together with the scope of the project make this a great film.
A.D.'s masterful cast features Anthony Andrews, Colleen Dewhurst, Ava Gardner, David Hedison, John Houseman, Richard Kiley, James MAson, Susan Sarandon, Ben Vareen and many others.
This is a great resource for any church, school or home who wishes to explore the New Testament period, the
Early
Church , and the Book of Acts. This Biblically and historically accurate drama comes complete with a Study Guide providing a 12-week course.
