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.
Includes
eight 25-30 minute parts presented by Dr. Paul L. Maier:
1) Young
Saul: A survey of his roots and education in Jerusalem, as well as his
conversion on the Damascus Road.

New Saul: His desert experience and early ministry in Cilicia.

First Mission Journey: Paul and Barnabas bring the Gospel to Cyprus,
Pamphylia, and Galatia.
4) Quarrels
and the Second Mission Journey: A great dispute is solved by the Apostolic
Council in Jerusalem, Paul defends the Gospel in Antioch, and then takes
Silas on a second mission journey.
5) The
Second Mission Journey and Greece: Paul arrives in Philippi, travels
to Thessalonica and Athens, and anchors his ministry in Corinth.
6) The
Third Mission Journey: Ephesus in Asia Minor is the target of Paul's
campaign for Christ.
7) Arrest
and Imprisonment: Paul is attacked at the temple in Jerusalem and is
tried before the Roman governors Felix and Festus.
8) The
Voyage to Rome: Having appealed to the emperor, Paul sails to Rome but
is shipwrecked in Malta. The following spring he arrives in Italy and
welcomes his fate in Rome.
