Paul
The EmissaryThe
early first century followers of Jesus were a small, struggling group
within Judaism who seemingly posed no threat to anyone, certainly not
the mighty Roman empire. But there was one determined to see this fledging
faith exterminated. His name was Saul and he became the greatest persecutor
of the early church. But within a matter of a few years, the Christians
fiercest opponent became it most effective advocate. Struck down by
a powerful conversion experience on the road to Damascus, Saul -- his
name changed to Paul -- went on to become the greatest missionary in
the history of Christianity. He went on to write more of the New Testament
books than any other. In this impressive drama starring Gary Cooper
we follow Saul the angry zealot to Paul the servant of Christ who will
pay any price to bring his message to the world.
