The Fall of Jericho — The Fall of Jericho explores what happened as Joshua and the Israelites experienced one of the Bible’s greatest military victories. Interviews with archaeologist Dr. Bryant Wood and Bible scholar Dr. Frederick Baltz shed new light on the truths found in Scripture about this miraculous event. Optional English subtitles, Expanded interviews with scholars, Questions for group discussions, Script of the program in PDF.

Enigma of the Dead Sea Scrolls — An examination of key issues related to the Dead Sea Scrolls, widely regarded as the most significant archeological discovery of the 20th century. There remains much mystery and intrigue as scholars and administrators have fought over access to the materials. This program investigates the scrolls, controversies, key players, and contributions to our understanding of the ancient world and the Bible.

Footsteps of Goliath — Did young David actually slay the giant Goliath with a slingshot? This documentary takes us from the glorious temple of the Pharaohs to mysterious tombs of mythical kings, from the dark vaults of the world’s greatest museums to the shores of the Dead Sea, from remote digs to the very place where David met his giant opponent. Approached from the perspective of professional scientists and archaeologists, Footsteps of Goliath includes the reenactment of the famous duel between David and Goliath. The story in the Bible contains an incredible amount of detail on Goliath which allowed the filmmakers to reconstruct the giant warrior.

Babylon: Past, Present, and Future — Bible history and prophecy depict Babylon as a social, economic and religious power. The Bible portrays Babylon as a woman riding a seven-headed, 10-horned beast described as "Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth." (Revelation 17:5). Babylon has fascinated countless people over the centuries. But its story is an important one for Christians living today. Discover the common thread that weaves Babylon past and future with Babylon present. Explore Babylon—one of the most intriguing mysteries of the Bible. Includes optional English subtitles.

Biblical Mysteries: Ark of the Covenant — What happened to the Ark of the Covenant? In this action-packed documentary shown prime time on NBC, Biblical scholar and modern-day "Indiana Jones" Mike Sanders journeys to one of the Middle East's most dangerous territories to find the elusive ancient ark. His adventure through a veritable political minefield ultimately leads Sanders to the Palestinian-controlled village of Djaharya, a reported training ground for the terrorists groups. We follow Sanders as he uncovers clues that he argues may have brought him to the edge of the cherished discovery. Political problems prohibited the full excavation of the site he pinpoints as the likely location, but the evidence is set forth to help you decide if indeed he is finally just one step away from uncovering the priceless ark. Brief Nudity.

Biblical Mysteries: Sodom and Gomorrah — This compelling NBC prime-time special, featuring scholar Mike Sanders, leads us on an unprecedented exploration to the depths of the salty Dead Sea in the same Delta mini-submarine used to explore the wreck of the liner Lusitania. To some skeptics the Biblical tale of the two "sin cities" is metaphorical, but Sanders’ belief — possibly supported by new evidence derived from NASA satellite photography showing anomalies on the floor of the Dead Sea — is that the cities not only existed, but their location might be found today. It took years of negotiations for Sanders to obtain clearance from the Israel army, the Jordanians and the Palestinians to search for the ruins at one of the most tension-packed places on earth. However, limited access was permitted, and we join the dive to the sea floor to uncover some compelling evidence buried in the salt. The search is still not over but the initial evidence that the program presents could mark a critical step forward.

Paul, Apostle of Grace — Follow the footsteps of the apostle who rocked the Roman Empire to its foundations. Paul's radical gospel of grace lit the fire of the faith that would sweep across Europe and beyond. This exploration takes you to the actual places Paul visited, now in modern-day Greece, Turkey, Israel and Italy. Join pastor and teacher Ron Kelly as he guides you in exploring Paul's message of grace in Jesus Christ and the ancient cities of the Roman Empire where it took root. Paul, the Apostle of Grace will inspire and enlighten you. The Bible will come alive when you see what it was like when — and where — the earthshaking events in its pages occurred. Optional English Subtitles.

The Lives of the Apostles Paul and Peter — In these two programs, Rick Steves explores the lives of two great apostles. Travel to modern-day Turkey and Greece. See the ruins of buildings where Paul spoke and places in which early Christians worshiped. From persecuting members of the Jesus movement, Paul becomes the movement's primary spokesperson and the one most responsible for spreading the Good News of God's amazing grace and our everlasting life in Jesus Christ. Today, Paul's written words continue to inspire both committed Christians and those who are looking for God's presence in their lives and the world. (40 min). Rick Steves follows the story of the Apostle Peter from his early days as a fisherman, through his three-year adventure with Jesus to the tumultuous events surrounding Jesus' death and resurrection. Scholars from Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio, provide background as Rick weaves together the Apostle's life. (29 min). Includes optional English subtitles and closed captioning.

Apostle Paul and the Earliest Churches — This 48-minute DVD is more than an archaeological or historical survey; this production's reenactment of the miracles Paul performed, the difficulties Paul encountered, and the persecution Paul faced beckons the viewer to experience with the Apostle himself the birth of the Christian church. The film's archaeological emphasis is enhanced by 3D animated maps and footage of Antioch on the Orontes, Pisidian Antioch, Ephesus, Tarsus, and other cities important to Paul’s ministry. Languages: English, Turkish and Arabic , Chapter titles, Study guide in PDF format.
