Beginning by providing an historical overview of life in Jerusalem under Roman rule, it goes on to cogently explain the circumstances by which Jesus, having become recognized as a teacher, was able to recruit his apostles. Intelligently handled reenactments provide dramatizations of significant events in the lives of the disciples, and their diverse personalities and individual relationships with Jesus, as well as their lives following the crucifixion, are covered in some depth. Biblical scholars, including university professors and priests, appear throughout the video in interview segments to offer their insights, and the narration by actor Martin Sheen is understated but always interesting. The issue of separating fact from myth is dealt with at some length, and a discussion of how some accounts of the lives of the apostles came to be judged as the 'Apocrypha' is of particular interest. Story of the Twelve Apostles is a commendable look at some of history's most intriguing figures, 12 men who were considered outlaws but whose influence is today felt around the world. --Robert J.

This fictional and non-factual video should be put under the heading "Trash." I was greatly disappointed after the first 10 minutes of this New Age lie. Rating: - how disappointing! I read the reviews from others first, so i must say i bought this video with both eyes open, thinking that maybe my learned friends are too picky about the details, or maybe afterall, i can use it for my youth fellowship groups. after my not-so-learned but most eager viewing of this video, i also say it is disappointing. the images are disturbing most of the times, neither surreal nor factual, interlacing silent film style dramatised footage with modern actor footage and of course ...
