One
day you'll meet him face-to-face. Until then, Dr. Paul Maier's remarkable
DVD series introduces you to the zealous young Saul. You'll witness
his transformation on the road to Damascus; follow his missionary journeys
throughout Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy; and relive his arrest and
imprisonment.
Aside
from Jesus himself, no one has had a greater influence on the founding
of Christianity than Paul of Tarsus. Among his many achievements, three
are of prime importance: 1) as a powerful, tireless missionary, he spread
the faith to Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy; 2) his letters, which form
much of the New Testament, present a basic theology for Christianity;
and 3) more than anyone else, he brought Gentiles into the early church,
not only Jews, thus universalizing the faith.
The
accompanying 12-page guide includes a map, summary and discussions questions
for each segment, and a bibliography, all of which may be duplicated
for participants.
