Jesus: His Life

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.

The story itself tries to stay accurate to the Bible, but the commentators make a lot of assumptions that can be misunderstood as factual. If the stance of all the commentators were given before they speak, it would inform the audience that it was their opinion.

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.

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 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?
