Description
More and more discoveries are being made in the land of Jordan related to the actual places where some of the greatest Bible events took place! Journey with us in this compelling video in which Bible events come to life. Follow the adventures of Lot, as he fled from Sodom and was sheltered in a cave; Jacob, as he wrestled with God by the river Jabbock; and Moses, as he led the great Exodus northwards from Aqaba. There's Mount Hor, where Aaron died and was buried; the plains of Moab, where Moses gave his final instructions and blessing; Beth Peor, where he pleaded to be allowed to enter the Promised Land; Mount Nebo, where he glimpsed it and died; Amman, where Uriah was killed in battle. We visit Elijah's homeland and the site of his dramatic departure; Petra, where the wise men possibly brought their gifts. At Bethany beyond the Jordan, John baptized Jesus, and Jesus met his first disciples; at Machaerus, John was imprisoned and beheaded. We even descend to! the tombs, which the Gadarene demoniac frequented. These, and much more, make this a unique and gripping program. A Biblical exploration that really comes alive. Directed and Presented by David Nunn.

3 out of 5 stars A Bit of a Dissapointment.......2005-07-01

This program was somewhat less that I had expected or hope for. It does indeed explore biblical Jordan, as the title implies but it does so without much depth. The basic form of the program is that the host tells bible stories that took place in Jordan. While doing so, he walks around some of the sites concerned and shows some scenery. He even gives a bit of brief commentary. Unfortunately, he does not explore anything in much depth. It is all very superficial sometimes.

It must be admitted that the host is passionate about his subject and some of that passion is contagious. Mostly, he seems to desire to tell the biblical story and amaze people with it. As a pastor, I commend him for that; still, I would wish that some of the passion had been directed into more information. Also on the plus side, he does seem to cover each significant site from the scriptures.

This project was apparently a joint venture with the Jordanian government. I think that the Jordanians got their money's worth. It is better than the average tourist tape; I just wish it had been documentary quality.
