I grew up watching these films and really enjoyed them. As an adult I still like them. They do take liberties in their story lines that aren't 100% in line with the Bible (mostly rather insignificant issues) but they do get the point across and are, in the end, a nice family oriented bit of entertainment from a Christian perspective.

Up to now I have seen only the part Samson and Delilah on video. I was positively surprised. I like the episode and I think its good how God was represented in the part. Very beautifully I find is the narrator at the beginning of the series which explains the birth of the life. Only sad is that the parts are not a little bit longer. Therefore, the story comes a little bit too shortly. That`s the reason why I can give only four stars.

But the series is definitely worth to seeing and I will still buy the DVD Collection anyway.

This Movie had great color and surrounding content. The Actors were of better than usual sincerity, but could have done better. As for the accuracy of Scripture, much was lacking. A lot of historical events of more importance were omitted and should have been given more consideration. There have been few movies where the Bible is presented that Scholarly concerns have been at the forefront. For the mosy part , the movie was of some importance and did shed some light on what scripture was trying to say. Since no one is perfect, I guess there is always room for improvement.

I was very happy when i got this dvd in the mail but that was quickly dashed to the ground when i began to watch the dvd. Lies all lies. why can't these movie makers make the movie of the bible according to the bible? they have to mess with what is written and put out their hollywood version. this just shows that they are in no way really interested in getting the word of the scriptures portrayed for it's intended purpose but rather to glorify lies and get cash in the process. How dear you manipulate what the Lord has laid down!
most persons may only have heard about God but i can tell you from my own experiences that he is real. I mean things that i have seen clearly and have heard his voice clearly, not some crazy person as some might think.
if you know the bible you will see that the movies on this dvd are only similar but not in accordance to the bible. by creating these movies like this, these same movie makers demonstares that they act on behalf on him who is the father of lies (SATAN). Jesus says this in about such persons in St.John 8: 44 You belong to your father the devil, and the desires of your father that's what you do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not abide in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own language: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

i'm not even trying to be religious here but the bible is indeed from christianity, so to take it and manipulate it in a manner that clearly shows the very thing it is warning us to stop doing is very hipocrytical. what is so wrong to make the movie as it is written in the bible? if you don't accept what it is saying then leave it alone. don't go messing with it to suit your pockets.
the same way i wish the makers of this movie would have just left the bible alone is the very same way i intend to leave this movie ALONE, for i will be trying to get a refund for this rubbish.
too bad that i had to buy this dvd to know what was on it for had i known how they have depicted the bible then i wouldn't have bought it.
i would not encourage anyone one who understands the importance of God's truth to even look at this dvd, for you will be sorely disappointed, or deceived depending on if you accept what it has to offer.
movies are impressionable so if the simple minded like that of someone ignorant of the bible or even if a child were to watch this dvd then can you imagine how they would been deceived!
disappointing indeed.

This Movie has great color and background content. It is lacking in authenticity of facts as recorded in the Bible. There was a lot left out and not covered as concerning the Life of Samson and others. The Ten Commandments of Cecil B. Demile was much better and had more factual content than a movie of this caliber. It seemed as if the Producer was trying to create a fast event movie that would attract a less informed audience than those who are Bible Scholars.Accuracy is a must with Bible Scholars. R.C. Timms
