What the series showed of the early church was good, too bad they didn’t show more. There was a movie years ago (I believe called Peter and Paul—I believe it had Anthony Hopkins in it) that did a nice job of showing the lives of these two early brethren. Their testimony, the testimony of the early believers was critical to the Lord’s work in redeeming for Himself a people.
The “radical” change that took place in the “Spirit-filled” early church was direct evidence in support of the bodily resurrection of the Lord. That these 11 who were cowering one minute and out in the streets preaching openly the next, “turned the world upside down” and you read in Acts that “the Lord added daily to the church those that were being saved.”
Christians today (and I count myself among them) would do well to pray that the Lord restore the joy of His salvation within us, that we might grow in faith, so that His Gospel would have the same kind of impact on our times.
Right you are ... "Peter and Paul", 1981. A well done TV film. Running time at 3+ hours. Saw it several months back on 1 of the religious channels. Highly recommend it.
I remember the mini series Peter and Paul, yes with Anthony Hopkins as Paul, was FABULOUS, I think James Farantino may have played Peter, was excellent...NBC would never show such a thing again
