SNEAK PREVIEWS

William Wilberforce (W9056)

35 minutes / Adults

Slavery was taken for granted in 18th-century Britain, the leading slave-trading nation in Europe. The British shipped 70,000 men, women and children per year to the slave plantations. It was a very profitable business and provided major underpinning for the British economy. In this resource, "William Wilberforce", the program follows Wilburforce in his decades-long struggle against the enormous strength of the slavery establishment. His desire to abolish slavery prevailed. It has been described as "one of the turning points of the world." This DVD tells the story in historical pictures and art work. One DVD, Vision Video SUBJECTS: Biography; Social Issues

Herod's Temple (H9055)

26 minutes / Adults

Jerusalem, rich in historical and Biblical heritage, is the home of the Temple Mount. Now, travel back in time to see it the way Jesus and his disciples did over 2, 000 years ago. They knew it as Herod's Temple. Imagine the scene as Jesus expelled the moneychangers form its outer court and as the veil of the temple leading to its holiest chamber was torn at the time of Christ's crucifixion. In this resource, we begin to experience the Temple as it was to those living in Jesus' day. We witness the horror of the fiery destruction of the Temple by the Romans in AD 70. We come to appreciate the central role of the Temple in the life of first century Jews and Christians. One DVD, Ensign Media. SUBJECTS: Bible; Church History
