5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, August 27, 2009

This review is from: Jerusalem: Center of the World (DVD)

An extremely well done documentary that relates the World's 3 great religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam to Jerusalem. Numerous key figures in the history of these religions and Jerusalem's history are examined in sufficient detail to provide a rich understanding of the people, places and beliefs covered. Very up-to-date coverage, great photography and dialogue. Very educational and insightful. By far the best video coverage of this subject I have ever seen- A "10" on a scale of 1 to 10!

This review is from: Jerusalem: Center of the World (DVD)

I purchased several DVD's on Jerusalem and Israel and this was by far the best one. It gave a good overview of Jerusalem and its three major religions. It covered the entire history of the city and its significant sites. I would highly recommend this one. I purchased this as a pre-trip source of information and it gave me great background knowledge. It was totally worth the time to watch. Buy this one and skip all the others...

5.0 out of 5 stars Extensive Coverage of The History of Jerusalem - Nicely Done, March 28, 2010

This review is from: Jerusalem: Center of the World (DVD)

This DVD provides extensive coverage of the history of Jerusalem, including the relationship of the city with Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It seems appropriate for those of any faith. There is a wide range of material included and it has been thoughtfully put together.

The material is more informational than you would find in a travel video. I'll have to say that there is so much included that I will have to watch it more than once to absorb even a fraction of what is there. I found that it required more focus than I was able to give it as I watched the first time, because I was tired. This one needs more attention than just a casual viewing, in my opinion.
