Title: My favorite New Testament movie
Product review: I teach religion at a Catholic prep school, and I often use video clips in class. I have lots of films I like for teaching the Hebrew Bible, but I've had a hard time finding New Testament films I like. This one is great!This movie is based on the "Good News Bible" and is very faithful to the biblical text. The production values are good, and the acting is generally good. I especially like the portrayal of Jesus by Henry Ian Cusick, who played Desmond in the TV series "Lost," and my students get a kick out of seeing him in this role.The DVD set includes the full three-hour version of the film and also an edited-down two-hour version.A warning: This film has been incorporated into the "Visual Bible" series, but the other two films in the series, "Acts" and "Matthew," have nothing else in common with this one. They are poorly acted and poorly directed.
