Students of Church history know Augustine's influence on the development of Western Christianity was so profound, he is considered one of the "Doctors" of the Church. Many Protestant leaders also believe him to be one of the great theological "fathers" of the Reformation because of his teachings on salvation and divine grace. His books Confessions and City of God are still classics of the Christian faith.
(San Francisco, CA)—St. Augustine of Hippo is one of the Christian world's most beloved and well-known saints. However, his amazing conversion and heroic life have not been told on the big screen, until now.
Ignatius Press announces the forthcoming release of RESTLESS HEART: The Confessions of Augustine. This major motion picture is available now for sponsored theatrical screenings across the country. Individuals, parishes, church groups or other organizations can bring this epic film to their towns beginning immediately.
"We are thrilled to bring RESTLESS HEART to the big screen," said Ignatius Press President Mark Brumley. "St. Augustine is one of the first Doctors of the Church, along with St. Ambrose, St. Jerome and St. Gregory the Great His story is inspiring and compelling, and his writings are among the most respected in the world even today.
"RESTLESS HEART is amazing," he added. "It is the most moving story of conversion and reconciliation ever brought to the big screen, and Ignatius Press is honored to offer this film to America."
Unlike many faith-based films that open in limited release around the country and often don't make it to cities and towns with significant interest, RESTLESS HEART is available for showing anywhere. Interested groups and individuals work with local theaters and other venues to rent a screen, and Ignatius provides a copy of the film with a complete promotional kit for an affordable fee.
