I am always very skeptical about Jesus films. Because 99 times out of 100, they are awful, awful in every sense of awful.

The only Jesus film that stirs the soul, that brings the whole issue into crystal clear focus, was not a film, but a series directed by a Jew who remarked “there’s something about the story”.

The film masterpiece “Jesus of Nazareth” can educate anyone in the space of 7 hours on history’s greatest event.

No need to read the Bible from cover to cover (although bible study is greatly helpful for understanding), all one needs to is sit down by oneself, or with friends, or family, or even with nonbelievers, and watch this masterpiece directed by Franco Zeffirelli. It will not preach to you, it will put you there. You will be transfixed, unable to leave the room like reading a novel you can’t put down.

It’s also free online:

Thanks for that link.

Pretty sure Zeferelli is not a Jew. However, Sir Lew (later Lord) Grade, the producer was.

Thanks for this great tip on Jesus of Nazereth. I’ve been watching one hour at a time. Just finished watching the Prodigal Son scene as depicted in Matthew’s house.

I cried like a baby.

So amazing.

Thanks again.
