Story of Jesus

Anyone who is interested in both Biblical and Historical knowledge of both the life and area where Jesus grew up will love this series. It's well documented and gives insight to the man and his cultural, sociological background. Makes a great gift as well as an addition to your own library of knowledge.

I ordered this because of the subject and David Suchet’s narration skills... I plan to return it. Doesn’t sound like David at all but more importantly, it consistently rebuts validity of the scriptures’ documentation to the point that it is “mind blowing that anyone would believe the historical scriptural accounts... “ It is wolf in sheep’s clothing. Denies HIS death and resurrection as dream stories with no believable sources.

I have seen other religious DVD's by David Suchet and think he does a superb job in relating Biblical views and scripture. He stays with the original thought and theme of scripture - does not add views of religious groups. Looking forward for more DVD's from him.

Saw clips from the dramatized sections of this video (a set of music videos called "The Story" was created with the clips from this documentary). Wanted to hear the dialogue and searched for the full version as the acting and production was very impressive (if you like silent movies). The documentary was dry and contained too much speculation (to be 'fair'?) There were a few decent speakers (small percentage). The dramatized parts are inaudible (spoken over). They may have been in Arabic or another language. They are truly the stars of this video even if there is no sound. If this video is all there is for these dramatized scenes, it was very disappointing. I tossed it. To see the music videos go to Godtube.com and the best ones are "Alive," "Empty," and "When Love Sees You," all done by major Christian artists.

David Suchet is a wonderful narrator but some of the "Leading Experts" had their own agendas.I found their interpretations difficult to swallow.Unfortunately, the other DVDs by David Suchet on St. Paul and St. Peter had the same frustrations.

This is a fine documentary production which presents many great historical and cultural insights although I was annoyed by some of the modernist (liberal) theological perspectives presented by a few of the commentators.Purchasers of this DVD may also like the Jesus Revealed DVD study series. It uses many of the the same beautifully produced visual dramatization scenes from the Gospels with the addition of the provocative Bible teaching of Andy Frost. This is an excellent tool for anyone wanting to know more about the authentic Jesus.  Jesus Revealed: Encountering The Authentic Jesus (Disc 1)Jesus Revealed (Disc 2)

The acting and scenery is moving and some of the best I have ever seen. I just wish this was more of a movie than documentary.

Shipped Quickly. Outstanding documentary!

Terrific dvd which is so much better than the recent over hyped movie that Mark Burnett produced. Great narration by Hercule Poirot actor David Suchet.
