Apart from Jesus Himself, no person shaped the history of Christianity like the Apostle Paul. Even before he was a believer, his actions were intense. However, Paul's personal encounter with Jesus Christ changed his life. He never lost his fierce intensity, but from then on it was channeled for the gospel. Ben Kinsley narrates the story of how Paul preached for Christ throughout the Roman Empire on three missionary jouneys. Follow in the footsteps of the Apostle to Jerusalem, Antioch, Philippi, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Malta and Rome where he was executed for the faith he once denounced. Extra Feature: First Martyrs in Rome: Christians were denounced everywhere by the Romans because they were such a threat to the Roman establishment. Christians believed in one god, whereas the Romans had many gods, including Caesar. The Christians were committed to an authority higher than Caesar. this film tells the story of four martyrs - Clement, Cecilia, Apollonius and Agnes. Each made the ultimate sacrifice rather than deny their faith. The places where many of the events occured are shown in the film and can still be visited today.
