Filmed on location in Israel, Greece, Italy, and Turkey, Dr. Paul Maier covers the life, ministry and teachings of one of the most written about figures in history...the great apostle St. Paul. The video series contains eight video segments of approximately 25 minutes. The Bible Study comes complete with a leader's guide containing reproducible study material.

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 partipants.
