A.D. is a well acted and sincerely told story of the early beginnings of Christianity. Using the Roman quest for power and its corrupting influence as a contrast to the humble beginnings of early Christians, the series is able to capture the spirit of the Act of the Apostles. While the Jewish segments are superior to the Roman ones, A. D. is still able to bring these historical events to life. Well acted and presented, this is a mini-series well worth watching for families who are interested in Christianity's early beginnings.
