If someone asked you to make biblical movies based on the life stories of Peter or Paul, how would you go about it?
Ray Bruce set out to do this with a documentary film crew and one of England’s most beloved actors, David Suchet. Together, they followed in the footsteps of the Apostles Peter and Paul from Galilee to Jerusalem and beyond, seeking to tell the story behind two of the New Testament’s most captivating figures.
On this episode of the Great Stories podcast, you’ll hear Ray Bruce recount what went into the research and filming of these projects, as well why he finds the lives and ministries of Peter and Paul so compelling.
