Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In this incredible production, shot on location in the Holy Land, Oscar-winning actor Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur) recaptures all of the passion, power, drama and sheer beauty of these "greatest stories ever told."
Genesis: Here are the wonders of the Creation and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden, plus the dramatic tales of Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark and the Flood, and the Lord testing Abraham's faith with Isaac.
The Story of Moses: The greatest of all the epic dramas of the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Exodus tells of Moses and his deliverance of the Israelites, the parting of the Red Sea, the Ten Commandments, and the Promised Land.
Jesus of Nazareth: The amazing life and teachings of Jesus include His humble birth in a Bethlehem manger, baptism in the River Jordan, search for Disciples, temptation in the wilderness, Sermon on the Mount, and many miracles.
The Passion: The tragic and triumphant coda to the New Testament follows Jesus through the Last Supper, His betrayal by Judas in Gethsemane, His trial before Pilate and the crowds, His Crucifixion, and His joyous Ascension.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, October 16, 2002

By	Alsand (Ellensburg, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I like this tape series, but the DVD scans are VERY POOR quality. They are grainy and almost blurred. The quality of the VHS tapes are much better. There is no reason for this.

Save your money. Buy the tapes if you want this series. We can't support people who put out a poor quality product to save money on decent DVD scanning.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE GREATEST STORIES TOLD BY A MASTERFUL STORYTELLER!, October 27, 2006

By	Steven Hancock (Winston Salem, NC United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Charlton Heston Presents the Bible 2pk (DVD)

One of the greatest legends of cinema brings four of the greatest stories to life in "Charlton Heston presents The Bible," a powerful, soul-stirring epic! Heston reads from the stories of Genesis, Exodus, and the Four Gospels with great theatricality, telling them as they may have been told decades before they were written down. While his performances may be a little over the top, they fit this form of production perfectly.

Together with a mesmerizing orchestral soundtrack by Leonard Rosenman, powerful images, and visits to the places where these events may have actually happened, "Charlton Heston presents The Bible" belongs in everyone's collection of Biblical films and documentaries!
Film/DVD Grade: A
