This biblical drama featured Anthony Hopkins as Paul of Tarsus and Robert Foxworth as Peter the Fisherman, David Gwillim as Mark and Jon Finch as Luke.

[1] The historically based miniseries covers much of the Book of Acts in its Biblical re-telling of chapters 8 through 28, including the apostolic missionary journeys and interactions of Peter and Paul.

From there, in episodic detail the miniseries highlights the Christian Jews' early reluctance to welcome Paul (Acts 11), and King Herod Agrippa having James and the Son of Zebedee executed by sword.

Next is Peter's own arrest, his miraculous release from prison, and appearance at the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark (Acts 12).

Then comes the Jerusalem Council meeting, called to debate whether or not male Gentiles who were converting as followers of Jesus were required to become circumcised (Acts 15).
