Jesus - Sein Leben

I liked that the scenes are interspersed by commentary from experts. I learned a lot. However, I just could not get past Mary Magdalene's mascara. Beautifully applied to enhance her eyes. But did they really wear Maybelline back in the day?

I take a different approach to secular productions of the Bible; I don't expect them to be accurate, and this one doesn't seem to rise above that low expectation. I've watched the first two episodes, so I don't think that's enough to rate the series, or comment more fully. Right now, I'd give it one star. That might drop to no star, but it's doubtful it will climb to two stars. If I can stick with the series, I'll probably post a more detailed review.

I have enjoyed this series so far in that it joins history with the Bible. I like the historical commentary. Several of the commentators are completely secular and just make stuff up re what Jesus and others were thinking. I take all that with a grain of salt.

The John The Baptist hour was ridiculous in that it totally twisted the reason John existed & why he preached. The rest have been good esp the hour from Mary's. point of view. I found it quite moving.

The Caephus hour enlightened me re his role vs Pilates role and gave me a better understanding of the Sanhedrin.

I'm a believer and have enjoyed this series so far. I've found it educational. I am interested in secular commentary whether I agree with it or not!

Loved it but, everytime Joel Osteen came on and opened his mouth, I muted the movie. He is the least charitable person in the world . You chose the wrong guy to talk about Jesus.

I'm not a religous person but find religion very intresting. This series is very intresting and a very cool way to learn about the history of Christ.

As many have said this series is mostly dramatization with commentary from biblical scholars. Some people may find the dramatization overdramatic.

All in all I'm enjoying the series and wish that the other reviewers would calm down about the "innacuracy" of the series, I highly doubt these people are biblical scholars or have any sort of merit.

Take this series for what it is.. It isn't meant to be the bible.
