Reformation Dramas 5-DVD Pack — John Wycliffe: The Morningstar — John Wycliffe is a dramatic biography of the life of the 14th century scholar and cleric who translated the Bible into English for the first time. 75 minutes. God’s Outlaw: The Story of William Tyndale — God’s Outlaw is about international politics, church intrigue, cold-blooded betrayal, and false justice ending in a criminal’s death. But it’s also about victorious faith and spiritual triumph over some of the greatest political and religious forces in the 16th century. 93 minutes. Martin Luther — This dramatic black and white classic film made in the 1950's is a magnificent depiction of Luther and the forces at work in the surrounding society that resulted in his historic reforming efforts. 105 minutes. The Radicals — Michael and Margaretha Sattler join a group called the Anabaptists and together challenge the 1,000-year control of the Church by the State. 99 minutes. John Hus — Intrigue and false promises weave a powerful story of one man’s commitment to faith in Jesus Christ. In the end Hus was accused, imprisoned, and charged with heresy. Ultimately, he was condemned and burned at the stake as a heretic. 55 minutes.
Knox — Renegade. Reformer. Revolutionary. Five centuries after his birth, the influence of John Knox can still be felt across his native Scotland and throughout the world. Presented by Scottish actor Phillip Todd, “Knox” takes another look at the life and legacy of one of the church’s great reformers. Follow in the footsteps of John Knox as he makes his epic journey from Catholic priest to a passionate Protestant preacher facing down the most famous Scottish queen of all time. Incorporating dramatic animations and interviews with leading experts, the story of John Knox is brought to you as you’ve never seen it before. Widescreen. Optional English subtitles.
Calvin, Zwingli, and Brother Klaus — John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, and Brother Klaus (Niklaus von Flüe) were three very different men who shaped the Christian faith in Switzerland. John Calvin was as an intellectual giant of the Reformation, Ulrich Zwingli was a humble priest who brought reform to the church and died in battle, and Brother Klaus was a mystic who left everything to seek God in the wilderness. With this docu-drama, award-winning filmmaker Rainer Wälde celebrates the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the 600th anniversary of the birth of Brother Klaus, Switzerland’s most famous saint. In comparing and contrasting these three figures, we see how the practice of the faith changed in Switzerland in the late Middle Ages. These changes would ultimately impact the entire world.
