The Rebirth of Nicodemus Rick Akins

As the Romans prepare to destroy Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 A. D., the Apostle John visits the elderly Pharisee, Nicodemus. The last surviving Apostle seeks information for his writing of the fourth Gospel. As a young and prideful scribe, Nicodemus told King Herod where the 'king of the Jews' would be born. From this mistake, the children of Bethlehem were butchered. Follow the Pharisees' interactions with Jesus as he learns to bring Christian forgiveness into his own life, while John learns the secrets to writing his dramatic account of Christ's life.
