Jesus and Paul and the Word and the Witness

Description

In this ABC News special program, Peter Jennings tells the story of Jesus of Nazareth, Paul the Apostle, and Christianity in its first decades. When Rome ruled the world from Europe to the heart of the Middle East, the caesars were gods and most people knew nothing about a young Jewish peasant named Jesus of Nazareth. After Jesus' death and resurrection, Paul becomes the main character in the Bible story about the birth of Christianity. Trace the story of Jesus and Paul, two men of remarkable faith, iron will, and radical vision. Without them the religion we know today as Christianity would not exist. Both sacrificed everything for the belief that God had chosen them to change the world. They did.
