Jesus - The Complete Story

Buy This Item Jesus - The Complete Story by BBC Warner  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 11-29-2008     A great DVD. Better production than the original BBC one i brought a few years ago. Plenty of info I didnt know about Jesus's life. Reader Reviews This was an interesting program, but it is important to note that it was not produced from a religious perspective; there is little if anything here having to do with dogma or theology. What it does do, however, is try to explain biblical events from measureable criteria, like science or archaeology. Some of the things you'll see are: the type of house or dwelling where Jesus may have been born (maybe not the traditional "manger" scene); a fishing boat recovered from the Sea Of Galilee dating to the first century (the famous "Jesus Boat"); the town of Caperneum and the possible house of St. Peter; and several digitized recreations of places like first-century Bethlehem and Jerusalem, giving the viewer an idea of how things might have looked during Jesus' lifetime. From a scientific viewpoint, there are discussions about the possibility of a virgin birth, the astronomical events that may have led to the story of the wise men following a star, the length of time a crucified man could survive on a cross, and even a computer-generated "educated guess" about what a 1st-century man from Nazareth might look like. Overall this was an informative video, but again, it is not a religious lesson and it is assumed the viewer already knows a few things about Jesus of Nazareth. Viewed with that in mind, it's not bad. Three stars.
