Product Overview
The story of St. Paul, who was transformed from the most infamous persecutor of Christians to one of Christ's most influential apostles. Paul is spending his last days in a dark and bleak prison cell awaiting execution by Emperor Nero. Luke, his friend and physician, risks his life when he ventures into Rome to visit him.
Paul is under the watchful eye of Mauritius, the prison's prefect, who seeks to understand how this broken old man can pose such a threat. But before Paul's death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of "The Way" and the birth of what will come to be known as the Christian church. Their faith challenged an empire. And their words changed the world.
Starring Jim Caviezel, James Faulkner, Olivier Martinez, John Lynch and Joanne Whalley.
