I’m probably the only person in America who has not watched any of this show.

Parts of it are really good.

The character development is well done but there is stuff added to that aspect that simply cannot be supported by Scripture.

I wish someone would have done something a little more true to the gospels and shown more of the scenes of miracles, and some of Jesus’ more well known teachings.

If I want to watch a movie or miniseries about Jesus Christ, I’ll watch “The Passion Of The Christ”, “The Bible” along with the spin off movie “Son Of God” or “Jesus Of Nazareth”.

I forgot to mention “Ben-Hur”, “King Of Kings” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told”.

Nope, you and me both. Not a whole episode anyway. I watched a couple of scenes (just so I could say I did) and it was what I expected: an overacted and emotion based rendering of someone else’s interpretation of the Gospels. I don’t discourage anyone from watching it, I guess, but with the understanding that they are not directly encountering the Gospels but someones dramatized take on it.

People have told me they think this will hopefully inspire more people to pick up the Bible if they haven’t before, but I think it it gets people off on the wrong foot if the interpretation is lodged in your mind before you read the actual biblical text.

I haven’t seen any of it, either, that I’m aware of anyway.
