In this fascinating two-part documentary, actor David Suchet undertakes an epic journey spanning the Mediterranean. His inspiration is a charismatic individual whose own travels through this region, two thousand years ago, changed the world forever - Paul the Apostle.
On this journey, David seeks to uncover how an obscure Jewish sect from the edge of the Roman Empire shattered the world of the classical gods and challenged the might of Caesar, to become the dominant force in Western civilization. David first visits Jerusalem to discover St. Paul's early life as a devout Jew and his subsequent, life-changing, conversion to the new Jesus Movement. David then journeys to Tarsus in modern Turkey where St. Paul was born. He also travels to Antioch in Eastern Turkey, where St. Paul set about his mission of converting the Gentile world to the new religion of Christianity; and to Ephesus, where he challenged the gods of the Empire. In so doing, St. Paul was challenging the might of Rome itself.
Enjoy!
