This soundtrack is an incredible journey into beauty. The main theme of the movie simply takes you away. The score is powerful and the delivery is great. If you saw the mini series, you really can see the story in your head as you listen. Sarah Brightman also lends her beautiful voice to Pie Jesu which is very pretty as well. Whether you're religous or not, you're going to love this CD!

I have been collecting movie soundtracks since 1961 ,the first of wich was "King of Kings". The original score to "Jesus" is one of the greatest I have in my collection. Mr. Williams doesn't rely on organ music and a chorus as other composers have done for biblical films. The score stands well on its own and captures the essence of the Christ story. Should have gotten an Emmy nomination for best score for a miniseries as should Patrick Williams have been nominated. I have one question.Why wasn't a cassette of the original score released since one was released for the second album ," Music from and Inspired by Jesus."

The original score for the epic miniseries "Jesus" is a soul-stirring, exceptional piece of work! Patrick Williams has created an amazing soundscape for the best television representation of the story of Jesus the Christ! This should belong in anyone's collection of film and television recordings! Grade: A+

Patrick Williams' score for the television miniseries Jesus is not typical of most television miniseries'. What is most different about it is the lack of a bombastic main theme. Williams' main theme is understated and that creates a score that is soft yet powerful. He creates music that flows nicely and is a much better listening experience than the movie is a watching experience. Overall I rate this score very highly.

Although I find the mini-series undeserving of Patrick Williams' talent, he has done a fantastic job of capturing the majesty of the life of Christ with his beautiful score.

With all due respect to the subject of this material, it's not the best movie based on the life of Christ, and the music is second rate at best. If you want to watch (or listen to) a decent made movie on Jesus, I highly recommend Mel Gibson's "The Passion" instead. The Passion is accurate, very well acted, even better directed...and carries a much better, higher quality soundtrack.

A musically peripatetic score of ersatz Rozsa infused with gross, contemporary gimmickry that threatens to be its downfall. "Jesus" is interesting to hear for its magnificent main theme and righteously epic moments, but because the music rambles about until something major occurs, it never quite achieves the illustrative task of turning water to wine. Rather, this is Kool-Aid -- refreshing, but someone needs to spike the punch.
