Good Movie, Recommend Seeing
I saw this movie today and thought it was good, with excellent acting, and location (filmed in Malta which was the place of one of Paul’s journeys). The movie doesn’t sugar coat the persecution the Christians of that era had to endure, shirk away from divisions within the early church community or difficult questions being asked by those living in those times. The story line drags in a few places but for the most part it is a movie worth seeing in a theater.

I saw a 5pm show and sadly there were only about 10 people at the most there, so hopefully more will attend future screenings.

“God’s Word is Not Chained”
In this film biography of St. Paul, there was a creative approach taken with depicting the influence of Saul of Tarsus (Paul). Instead of a chronological narrative, the film focuses on the final stage of Paul’s life as he is awaiting execution in Rome. This imaginative approach was successful, as it combined truth, legend, and fiction.

Only one principal flashback scene was used to recount Saul’s famous conversion to Christianity on the road to Damascus, as he later recounted to Ananius. When Paul was sent to persecute Christians, he had a vision that transformed him and the fledgling Christian religion forever.

The film is set in Rome at a time when the Christians were being persecuted by Nero following the Great Fire in 67 AD. One of the film’s subplots is the determination of a small group of Christians who plan to flee Rome and travel to meet Timothy in Ephesus. Another group of the Christians plans to remain in their city and to remain faithful to their Roman origins and their new identity as Christians. A third group of young male Christians resort violence, but their effort is thwarted by the Romans and rejected by the majority of the Christians.

Another surprising choice made by the filmmakers was to place the focus on the Greek physician Luke, who has arrived in Rome seeking his old traveling companion whom he had first met in Troas. Luke’s presence leads to his conversations with Paul while incarcerated in the brutal Mamertine prison. Of course, Luke duly takes down the narrative, starting with the stoning of Stephen, that will eventually become the Acts of the New Testament.

Luke’s presence also sets in motion the most moving scene in the film when the daughter of the ruthless head of the third roman legion, Mauritius Gallas, is miraculously healed. By far the most intriguing character in the film, Gallas inches closer to acknowledging the worth of Christianity, based not only on the healing, but on the wisdom conveyed to him by Paul.

Gallas is convinced especially by Paul’s assertion that “all men are slaves to something.” Gallas already feels that himself, based on his subservience to the tyrant Nero. Despite taking enormously liberties with the truth, the film uses the fictional character of Gallas effectively as an essential eyewitness.

In thirty years, Paul traveled ten thousand miles spreading the word of Christ. After his conversion, he spent three years in Arabia in a kind of self-imposed exile. There is no doubt that Christianity as an institution would never have developed as it did without the unparalleled contributions of Paul. The film conveys the message of Paul that evil can only be overcome by good: love is the only way.

In the bonus track of the DVD of “Paul, Apostle of Christ,” it was revealed that the filming took place on the island of Malta. As a result, there was a remarkable feeling of authenticity conveyed of the ancient Roman world in the first century AD. There was an especially dynamic use of lighting throughout the film that added to the mystique. An efficiently produced film on a budget of only $5 million, “Paul Apostle of Christ” has grossed in excess of $22 million, suggesting that this high caliber work reached an appreciative audience.
