$16.95 $14.95 On Sale!
The epic drama about the man whom Christians believe to be the son of God and the Messiah, reveals how he, during his relatively short life, grew from a simple carpenter to a man whose spiritual teachings and loving ways continue to inspire billions of followers nearly two thousand years after his crucifixion. The mini-series explores Jesus' relationships with his mother, Mary and his earthly father, Joseph, his 12 disciples, his devoted friends and followers such as Mary Magdalene and John the Baptist. It also illustrates the politically charged times which Roman Governor Pontius Pilate ruled over Judea, leaders and residents.
This new television mini-series which aired on CBS in May 2000, looks at the life of Jesus from His humble beginnings as a carpenter through His extraordinary life and the mission of His spiritual destiny.
This is a superb production and should prove very helpful to stimulate interest on the part of a Biblically illiterate generation to want to know more about the Gospels and the extraordinary life, death, resurrection and meaning of Jesus.
While there are some places where the script regretably goes beyond Scripture for dramatic purposes, overall this series for the most part does follow the Gospel accounts.
With a $24 million budget, "Jesus" was shot on location in Morocco and Malta. This four-hour global television event features an all-star cast including Jeremy Sisto, Gary Oldman, Armin Mueller-Stall, Jacqueline Bisset, Debra Messing, and David O'Hara. It also includes the music of Leann Rimes, Steven Curtis Chapman, Avalon, Jaci Velasquez, DC Talk, Yolanda Adams, Patrick Williams, 98 Degrees, Hootie and the Blowfish, Sarah Brightman, Lonestar, and Edwin McCain.
