May 30, 2015 · The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away into the nearby city of Berea. Satan hindered Paul from visiting Thessalonica again by using a corrupt local government that legally banned them from entering the city. This is quite easily understood.
Sep 17, 2019 · We also cannot overdramatize the work of Satan against us to the point of fear or discouragement. Bruce Longenecker puts its quite simply in his book Thinking Through Paul, “Somehow “Satan blocked” the way and precluded Paul from reconnecting with the Thessalonian church” (Longenecker, 69).
Jan 9, 2019 · The drama unfolds by giving us a glimpse of the lives of early Christians in Rome, struggling under the heavy hand of Nero. A major thread in the movie is the interaction between Luke, Paul, and the prefect of Mamertine Prison.

This is the question we should ask of Affirm Films (the studio behind Fireproofand Facing the Giants) and their new movie, Paul, Apostle of Christ, directed by Andrew Hyatt. Surprisingly few movies have been made about the man who carried Christianity to the known world. Besides Jesus, the apostle Paul is the most famous person in both the New Test...
Is Paul, Apostle of Christ historically accurate? Though this is not the only question we should ask of the film, it’s an important one. We should note that any translation to a different medium must take editorial license. Even the Gospel writers don’t use the exact words of Jesus (he spoke in Aramaic), but they capture the heart of his words in G...
Is Paul, Apostle of Christeffective for its purpose? Yes and no. The film successfully shows the suffering, non-retaliating community of Christians in Rome, including a few powerful scenes that reached heights I did not expect. Artistically the film does not feel like a low-budget Christian film, and the photographic use of light and dark is partic...
One scene where the Scripture-as-dialogue motif actually works is at the end. We hear Paul’s words to Timothy (Faulkner’s voice does work great as a Paul figure) in voiceover as he limps to his place of execution: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. The Lord be with your Spirit.”He serenely places his hea...

More importantly, as the movie addresses evil and Satan, it seemed odd that an acknowledgment that hell exists was left out altogether. At one point, God suggests to Paul that miracles are “within” each of us to live out and, in effect, make the world a better place by healing marriages, caring for the sick, etc. God encourages Paul, “you ...
