Summary: Jesus Christ Never Existed.
Review: 'Jesus - The Complete Story' is a famous film some people have seen or at least heard about. Most people fail to realize all of that doesn't matter because Jesus Christ never existed!! Jesus Christ is a mythological figure the church has exploited for hundreds of years and now the film industry has for almost a hundred years. There is absolutely no archeological or historical evidence that Jesus Christ existed. Even if he did exist, it would be highly unlikely he would have received that kind of punishment.
It is a shame that con artists like these filmmakers are using this mythological figure to make millions of dollars. People have to start swaying away from the manipulations of the church and the filmmaking industry and start looking at the hard facts. Jesus Christ and his crucifixion never happened.

Summary: Scientific Research with a Biblical Perspective
Review: I tend to be very skeptical of "life of Jesus" illustrations. I watch a lot of historical programs on previous cultures, and I understand that while the science can determine and confirm certain aspects, it is easy to extrapolate into fictionalized accounts and storytelling.
There have been other "scientific" searches for Jesus, using archeological evidence, but they are often so obviously done by non-Christians, or even anti-Christians, that their bias is clear while they pretend to be impartial. This series does have a bias, too. It is produced by theologians, and yes, they clearly have belief; but they do not push that aspect. Rather, this program says this "X" (science) proves this "Y" (biblical description) to be true. They compare it to other events, but do not make assumptions, but leave the rest for your own conclusions. I found this series fascinating, well done, and balanced, using scientific process to illuminate biblical text, and relate it to today. The forensic reconstruction is particularly interesting. A very practical application of science to help us deconstruct iconography. A great gift for a thinking Christian.

Summary: Bold, fact-based, brings you closer to Jesus...
Review: This 3-boxed set of beautiful, documentary-style videos examines the life and times of the historical Jesus Christ within the backdrop of First-century Judea's troubles and turmoil -vs- the awaited hope of many in the Messiah of Israel. It examines the life of Jesus in light of the Bible, the Old and New Testament Scripture, and the Gospel account, as further supported by the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls. The video is straightforward at examining the evidence within the context of scientific and historical inquiry and data, Bible accounts, as well as opening up the discussion of the Resurrection of Jesus to a matter of one's own deep, interpersonal faith. The evidence is shown to withstand the test of time, even after 2000 years! It's a realistic and poignant view of life in the First-century and the best presentation of the life of Jesus that I've seen so far, aside from the Franco Zeffirelli version of 'Jesus of Nazareth'. This video encourages further exploration into who Jesus was... and is! It really brings a person as close to a knowledge of Jesus aside from the intimate look at His life as presented in the Bible. Experts of diverse specialties, from Israel, Great Britain, and France, were consulted on this project. The BBC outdid itself with this series! It puts the viewer in tune with the emotional and spiritual aspect of the crucifixion. See the beautiful, first temple recreated here, as well as the surrounding cities. You'll get a feel for the era. This is a candid video presentation which I recommend to all. I cannot say enough about it. Visit settings such as Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives, the city of Sepphorus, and Cesaria in recreations of how it all appeared in Biblical times. Fascinating and inspiring, will undoubtedly bring students, teachers, seekers, and followers closer to the saving knowledge of God's grace!
