Anthony Hopkins stars in this epic
network television mini-series brings to
life the precarious existence of early
Christianity. The new movement is beset by
violent opposition from without and constant
turmoil from within. Two key leaders emerge
-- Peter and Paul -- who struggle to keep
the faith alive. This dramatic presentation
follows the pair, together and separately,
through three epochal decades. Included are
the stoning of Stephen, the road to
Damascus, their encounter in Jerusalem,
their conflicts over how the word of Christ
should be spread. Pauls travels to Asia
Minor and Greece, Peter and Pauls clashes
over Jewish law, and Peters decision to
follow in Pauls courageous footsteps. The
drama concludes in Rome in approximately
A.D. 64 with the beheading of Paul and the
crucifixion of Peter under Emperor Nero.
