For a movie that purports to tell the story of the Bible, it drifts some considerable distance away from it.

They could do a year long, every Sunday, 2 hour episode of the Holy Bible and STILL things would be left out or missed.

I was sceptical like you untill I had two Christian brothers of mine ask me how many people might just pick up the bible and start reading, or how many non believers might be curious enough to seek God based on this mini series. Basically, rebuking my negative aditude and reminding me that God is in charge of all things.

Totally agree....!
I hadn’t any idea who William Wallace was in history though I studied Brit history in college. Though Braveheart was completely inaccurate, I loved the movie so much, I read up on his history, the Battles of Falkirk and Sterling Bridge, etc. I now have an indepth knowledge of medieval Brit history that I never got in school.

Amen to your brothers’ comment to you. See also my post #49. One could consider this the “classic comics” of my youth which took a famous novel and recreated it in comic book form. That manner got me to read many great novels that I otherwise never would have considered reading.

Blessings to you and your brothers.
