What is the nationality of the person who made "Jesus of Nazareth"?
A.D. (miniseries) A.D. (1985) is a British/Italian miniseries in six parts which adapts the narrative in the "Acts of the Apostles". Considered as the third and final installment in a TV miniseries trilogy which began with "Moses the Lawgiver" (1974) and Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" (1977), it was adapted from Anthony Burgess's novel "The Kingdom of the Wicked", which was itself a sequel to Burgess's book "Man of Nazareth", on which was based Zeffirelli's movie. The title is the abbreviation for "Anno Domini" (Medieval Latin, "In the year of the Lord"), as the events occur in the first years of the Christian Era.
Criticism of Jesus Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of Christianity. Christians believe that he was (and still is) divine, while Islam considers him to have been a prophet, messenger and the Messiah. Since the time in which he is said to have lived, a number of noted individuals have criticised Jesus, some of whom were themselves Christians.
