5.0 out of 5 stars Great History Lessons, September 2, 2007

This review is from: Last Supper (DVD)

Here are visual history lessons for the greater context for the Last Supper.

The New and Old Testaments intersect in this single event.

The many short clips give a fast tour of the dozens of events that climax at this occasion.

The costumes, sets and various locations provide a visual amplification of the biblical texts.

The narrator provides historical background to the events as they unfold. This information helps the viewer to understand the importance of the events as they are unfolding.

Watching the meal prepared and cooked in the manner of that era is a valuable lesson.

There is instruction on how the Jewish Passover is observed today as well as in the days of Jesus.

This is an historical account without any religious interpretation or commentary.

This movie is highly recommended for all audiences. Christians can better understand the Jewish roots of their faith. And those who are not Christians can better understand this historic event that became the source for the sacrament of Holy Communion.

1.0 out of 5 stars Put me to sleep!!!, September 16, 2009

This review is from: Last Supper (DVD)

This was the most boring video ever! I was looking for a good overview of the Passover for my confirmation group and yearly Seder meal and bought this with the other people's recommendations. Big Mistake!! I am throwing it away, it was soooo long and the narrator spoke slowly and every scene is forever. There wasn't a 10 minute segment in the whole thing that I would show my congregation without putting them to sleep!

3.0 out of 5 stars Layman's view of the last Supper, April 10, 2007

By

This review is from: Last Supper (DVD)

This is a very general view of the Last Supper and gives only an idea of what it was like. The seating arrangements were more European than Jewish and the bread used is leavened rather than unleavened. It is the accepted views rather than the actual based on latest research. Da Vinci's last supper is a nice picture but lousy history. After all, Da Vinci was a artist and not a historian. This DVD gives a very general view and perpetuates some misconceptions. But generally, it is a reasonable attempt.
