Apostolic Fathers: Handing on the Faith DVD

Product Description

Born into a pagan world of gods and goddesses they blazed a new trail to follow the living God. With the words of the Apostles still ringing in their ears these champions passed the fullness of the faith on to the next generation. With the tradition and practice of the Apostles still fresh in their mind, these heroes died rather than betray Our Lord.

Join the adventure as Stephen Ray, best-selling author and popular Bible teacher, takes you on an exciting journey to the Roman Empire and the world of the first Christians. You'll sit at the feet of the apostles, celebrate the Eucharist in hiding, and tremble at the suffering they endured for Jesus Christ. Retrace their steps through Israel, Turkey, France and Italy.

All this in a fast-paced, entertaining biography, travel documentary, Bible study, apologetics course and Church history study rolled into one remarkable adventure!

Featured in this documentary are Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Rome, Polycarp of Smyrna, Irenaeus of Lyons and Justin Martyr.

Viewer's Comments:

"Dear Steve,
I am the mother of 5 wonderful children and the wife to a wonderful US Marine. We homeschool our children and are currently living in Okinawa Japan. I just wanted to tell you how much our family loves the Footprints of God series. Even my little 2 year old loves them, he will sit and watch the whole thing! I just noticed that there are lesson plans and study guides for these. They will come in handy next year for my 11th grader as we study Church History!! We are having our first homeschooling fair here this spring and I am going to be telling all of our moms about the guides and plans available for the DVD's! Thank you for your wonderful work!!!!!"
In Christ,
Cheryl

Very entertaining, yet instructive and full of amazing church history. Steve puts it all in a perspective that is easily understood.
A very good presentation about 4 early church fathers

Posted by Janice Farley on 10th Jun 2015

Steve Ray shows his love for the Catholic Church every time I listen to him and this DVD is no exception. He tells the story of 4 early fathers of the church and how they became great and how they loved The Lord and how much they suffered. He even went to the tomb of St. Ireneus in this underground church. My son and mother watched it with me too and they were equally amazed! At one point I turned to my son and asked, " how does Steve Ray know all this stuff?" My family and I all love this wonderful convert to our faith for all he has done with his talks and pilgrimages he goes on. You will love this DVD !
Great Presentation
