This CD-ROM is easy to install,simple to operate,and lovely to look at and listen to. The producers{MONTPARNASSE MULTIMEDIA} have doen a very commendable job with this. Each of 12 scenes gives biblical narration,paintings,commentary,related scens{which all together are close to 100}textual comparisons,analysis, and discovery,which enables you to explaore the various parts or symbols of each scene{for Lazaraus,for examole,Martha and Mary can be reserached,with reaLTED scenes] For a CDROM neophyte{as I am},this is an excellent introduction. Not a bad way to intrduce children to Jesus in art and word, either. Very nicely done

The editorial reviews have given us a good idea of this CD-Rom. So I'll just add a brief review. You can always expect a high standard of production from Montparnasse Multimedia though the design and navigation of this one is not as smooth, informative and interesting as the more recent "Musee d'Orsay" or "The Hermitage Museum". The analysis of the paintings and commentaries are too brief and not too enlightening.

The basic "12 scenes" are: The Annunciation, Birth of Jesus, Baptism of Jesus, Disciples are called, Wedding at Cana, Sermon on the Mount, Resurrection of Lazarus, Transfiguration, Entrance to Jerusalem, Jesus before Pilate, Death of Jesus and Road to Emmaus. For Christian art lovers, this CD will be a great tool for enjoyment and contemplation.
