Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In the beginning… before there was a written language, the stories in the Bible were told, to people sitting around a campfire in the dark, listening to the tales of what had happened and what was yet to come. Now, Academy Award-winning actor Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur) recaptures all the passion, the power, the drama, and the sheer beauty those first storytellers passed on to us with his own dazzling new exploration of the greatest stories ever told.
Part Three, Jesus of Nazareth, tells of the amazing life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Here is the story of His humble birth in a Bethlehem manger… of the wise men bearing gifts… and of Herod's fierce, futile search for the child. You'll hear of Christ's baptism in the River Jordan and of His search for the disciples. Witness Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, the Sermon on the Mount, the healing of the blind, and the overthrow of the moneychangers in the temple.
Shot on location in the Holy Land, this incredible production is more than great literature come to life. It is a walk through history itself.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great storyteller tells a great story., June 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Charlton Heston: Bible Genesis [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Wonderful video that has Charleton Heston telling the story of Genesis. He starts with Adam and Eve and goes all the way to Abraham. The story is told in the Holy Land utlizing beautiful paintings by the masters portraying the story of Genesis. If interested in the Old Testament, this is the place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only the BEST, November 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Charlton Heston Presents The Bible: Genesis (DVD)

Charlton Heston who has thrilled me in BEN HUR (for which he won his Academny Award), THE TEN COMMANDEMENTS and my favorite EL CID is remarkable in this telling of the Book of Genesis. This combines his brilliant acting with the magnificent scenery of the Holy Land and it gives us beautiful music and works of art from great masters of the past as well.
What more can one want from entertainment: Inspiration, uplifting and enlightenment -- if you want more than that go to the Bible and read the real book of Genesis or the real Passion of Jesus.
Get this one and you will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remember to buy this DVD, September 19, 2002

This review is from: Charlton Heston Presents The Bible: Genesis (DVD)

I had almost forgotten how good the story of Genesis was. How could something this good slip my mind? Charlton Heston is one of greatest actors of our generation, but unfortunately, I can't think of any of the titles of his movies, at this time.

It has been years since I studied Genesis in school... so many years, that I had actually forgotten about many of key elements of the story. That's why I was so happy when I heard that Charlton Heston's presentation of Genesis would be available on DVD. The DVD provides all of us with a helpful reminder about just how powerful the story of Genesis is.
