Don’t want to speak for the other poster you were asking, but it would probably be things like this and more:

Thank you

Well, yes, those are valid points.

But it’s mainly because Jenkins takes such liberties with Scripture, and creates whole scenarios that are un-Biblical. I’ve read the entire Bible through at least 40 times (once a year for 40 years, so I’m not just saying!) and so, perhaps I’m oversensitive to the additions to the actual Biblical account.

Franco Zefferelli did a decent job with “Jesus of Nazareth”, and was able to stretch it out to 12 hours. I did notice a few “extra-biblical” bits in that too, but they were’t wild and crazy speculations like in “The Chosen”.

Perhaps the most egregious example in The Chosen was Jesus asking his disciples for advice on what He should say in The Sermon on the Mount.

I won’t even go into Matthew being afflicted with Aspberger’s.

There are folks on FR whom I love and care about, who will vehemently disagree with me, and I really don’t want to get into a flame war with people I love, so I’ll just end my critique here.

God Bless You, FRiend.
