Biography - Jesus: His Life (A&E DVD Archives)

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Was Jesus a carpenter? An only child? Quiet and meek? Probably not. If you're surprised, perhaps you should take a look at A&E's Biography: Jesus, which reexamines his life in the context of his times. There's not much to go on beyond the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (which may have been written by others after their deaths), and there's certainly no documentary footage, but A&E uses interviews with Biblical scholars, photography of the beautiful Galileean countryside, and dramatic re-creations to bring his actions to life. It's pretty much inarguable that Jesus has had a greater impact on our culture than any other person in history, so the more we know about him, the better. Biography: Jesus will surprise and delight you with its rich exploration of his life. --Rob Lightner

An Informative, Bilingual Documentary .......2005-10-01

"Jesus, His Life, Mystery and Message" is a marvelous film on the life and times of Jesus, and though in its 10 chapters it skips around a bit, and there is an occasional slip in the script, those familiar with Scripture will appreciate this ambitious project, and the content that is biblically based, as well as the visual presentation. An Italian production by the Paulines, with writer/director Alberto Castellani and cinematographer/director Giancarlo Cappellano, it takes us through the significant sites in the Holy Land, and also blends in exquisite works of art, from masters like Duccio and his contemporaries, and iconic treasures of Greek and Russian origin.

It delves into the archeological evidence of the Bible, including the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the many miracles of Jesus, His life as an observant Jew, historical perspectives, and much more. The mixture of music used is also good, and ranges from dramatic melodies to beautiful cantorial singing. This is a 2-sided DVD, with 5 chapters on each side, and is playable in either English or Spanish, and the Spanish narration overall has a better audio quality. It must be noted that the film does not have a Hollywood multi-million $ look, as the color reproduction in the art work is a little off at times, and it is slightly grainy, but not bothersome at all, as the content overrides its flaws. Informative, wonderfully photographed, and occasionally quite moving, this is an excellent addition to anyone's library of Christian films, and will be of interest to those of any faith who wish to learn more about Jesus, and the historical roots of Christianity. I give it 5 stars for making the most of a low budget production. Total running time is 160 minutes.

Description

From the miracle of his birth, to the dramatic circumstances of his death and the lasting power of his workds, A&E BIOGRAPHY examines one of history's greatest and most enigmatic figures.

As influential today as he was nearly 20 centuries ago, Jesus and his story are often shrouded in myth and interpretation. From the mysteries of his birth and little-known middle years to the legacy of his crucifixion and resurrection, JESUS: HIS LIFE presents a clear and deeply researched account of this simple carpenter from Galilee whose brief life forever altered the course of Western Civilization. Featuring the latest archaeological findings, stunning onsite footage and in-depth interviews with leading scholars and theologians, this is a remarkable exploration of a man most Christians consider an incarnation of god.

Beware the Leavening of the Pharisees and intellectuals.......2004-01-21

I borrowed this from the library, and feel it is hostile to the Word of God, and teaches heresies about Jesus. Either the Bible is all true, inspired of God, and God cannot lie - or God DID lie, and the book is a collection of myths and legends, sprinkled with some interesting history and commentaries by men. In that case, we may as well study the Odyssey or Dune. However, if you WANT to know and grasp the dangerous subversion being promoted in Catholic colleges (I attend one, and this is being pushed as "rational" thinking), seminaries, and other places, you should listen to this. It is articulate, and nicely filmed. Frankly, it made me ill, and I could not finish it. Of course, the anti-fundamentalists will praise this work...as would the Pharisees.

Good biography of Jesus!.......2003-05-16

This was a very good biography of Jesus, so many differents points of views that we learn about the life of Jesus that is interesting to know. What I find odd his Jesus say sometime one thing and after he say another thing, like he said to people, "If someone slamp your cheek offer him the other one" and other things like that but why one time he was so angry and said, "How dare you sin in my father house!" and he destroyed the display that some people where trying to sell in the temple and he took the money and throw it on the floor. So what about what he teaching, "When someone slap you offer him your other cheek??? Lots of contradictions in this biography but it's interesting to know the many points of views about what happen in Jesus life!

save us from the fundamentalists.......2002-04-23

He was a Savior who died for our sake, but he didn't walk on water, alright?

not for belivers.......2001-09-06

As a Christian, I was offended by the way the speakers just stated that many things that I belive to be true were not. For example, one stated that the four books of the Gospel were not written by Matthew, Luke, Mark and John. That they were written but anonymous people who made them up just to convert people to their new religion, who do they think they are!!
