Negative Positive
Title: Slightly Inaccurate
Review: I thought the documentary was very well done. However, the historian who said that Jesus was rightly condemned by the Romans for "disturbing the peace" is inaccurate. The Roman Proconsul Pilate should not have judged a religious matter of the Jews. By Roman law, he could not have executed someone for religious reasons because the Jews had been granted religious autonomy some years before. This meant that Jewish leaders in Jerusalem had jurisdiction over religious matters and law, not the Romans. Romans could only intervene if the crime committed were capital or against the empire itself. There were, in fact, no legal reasons for Jesus to have been put to death by the Romans.
