southsider2k5 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I was flipping through the channels and ended up on this program. It was an incredible look at the history of the "Jesus Movement" immediately after the death of Christ through the writing of the gospels, up to the conversion of Emperor Constantine. Incredible program. I learned a lot. Has anyone else seen this before??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I have SS2k4. It is a very powerful piece and I, myself learned alot from also. It's kinda inspired me from learning about him, his disciples, and the way they had run their certain laws back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I just checked out the website on the PBS site--looks interesting. A lot of it overlapped and was really similar to what we learned in my theology class ("Jesus"). I love the historical side of Christianity; I think it's intriguing and I think it's so fascinating how the canon was formed and the order the NT was written and the context it was written in. Sounds like a good show--but we might watch parts of it in my Ethics class ("The Ethics of Jesus"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was excellent. (Way better than the Passion ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Way better than the Passion Just saw the Passion Friday night and I enjoyed it very much. It'll win a ton of awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting to see the suffering portrayed, but there was way too much Mary, and way too much Hollywooding for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 It is a movie... But the whole premise was to be the most realistic portrayal of the crucifiction... Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad or anything. Just inaccurate from my point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just inaccurate from my point of view. It was portrayed as Gibson choose to portray it. Since none of us left on this plant were there and can give an eye witness account.. every way it's portrayed is wrong to someone.. JMO.
