4.0 out of 5 stars
Great production, though basic, January 3, 2009
This review is from: The Prophecies of the Passion (DVD)
The strength in this film lies in the fact that it comes very near to matching the production value of documentaries on A&E, History, or Discovery. The cinematography and graphics are all done very well, the orchestral score is powerful, and the scripture narration (by John Rhys-Davies and Karen Scheeland) is amazing. Therefore, this is a great introduction to a beginning Christian. However, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to an atheist friend, nor a seasoned Christian, because it is very basic in its presentation. Popular author Lee Strobel and pastor Greg Laurie are good at presenting the basic position, but are certainly not scholars, and the scholars present do not give enough background on the issues to fully flesh-out the argument the film wishes to present. I would have liked to have seen more scholars and more in-depth investigation. Still, for an introduction to Bible prophecy, this is well composed, slickly executed, and enjoyable to watch.

OK, but disappointing, June 7, 2008
This review is from: The Prophecies of the Passion (DVD)
I thought it was short of information and long on meaningless pictorials.
I gave it 3 stars because what it presents is bare bones basic but accurate. I am a new student of the Bible, and this did not present new information for me. Maybe I just expected too much because I was so enthusiastic about the topic :)
While this is no substitute for reading the Bible, it is a good and accurate start that will hopefully whet your appetite to read more of it because there is more information in the Bible which ties the Old and New Testaments together than this.
I apologize if I sound ungrateful, as I sincerely appreciate their efforts in this great, necessary and somewhat difficult topic. The world could certainly could use more efforts along these lines.
