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.
