The parent video collection for a superb line of videos, September 27, 2000
This review is from: The Visual Bible's Matthew - DVD (DVD)
The Visual Bible's Matthew is a wonderful resource, well-made and entertaining as well as informative and inspiriational. The high price-tag may discourage some viewers, but fear not. There are two lines of videos (on VHS) which use footage from Matthew and The Visual Bible's Acts. One line is the Visual Bible For Kids. This series frames the awesome footage from The Visual Bible using stories set in the present to draw kids in and help them understand what they are seeing. Also, there is a line of videos called The Topical Bible Series which uses footage to explore such topics as The Passion and Healing. These videos are hosted by popular contemporary Christians artists. If your family or church can afford Matthew in its entirety however, it is well worth your money, especially on DVD. The DVD extras include the ability to listen to the soundtrack music of the film, biographies of the biblical characters in the film, searches by Chapter and Event (Jesus' birth, baptism etc.), a Spanish as well as English soundtrack (so you get Mateo and Matthew for the price of one) and English subtitles for the hearing impaired. This is video should be seen as the standard for all future multimedia presentations of the Bible. Also available is an audio book which features the music and dialogue from the film....

THE MAN WHO MADE JESUS SMILE, January 29, 2000
This review is from: The Visual Bible's Matthew - DVD (DVD)
The Visual Bible's Matthew is more than a movie. Bruce has given Jesus flesh and blood and allows us to experience Him as never before. In other films Jesus comes across as serenely detached from those around Him. In Matthew , He embraces His disciples ,those whom He heals with a deep burning love evident from the smile on His face . Matthew is also unique from other prodeuctions in that it is not a story about the Bible but is the word of God itself taken word for word from the NIV version of the Bible. This is the best film made on the life of Christ and Bruce is the definitive Jesus. He's a friend and I told him that when I pray or read the Scriptures it's his face,his portrayal that come alive. A must for all video libraries .Dynamic video and audio on DVD.

Visual Bible Matthew, November 30, 1999
This review is from: The Visual Bible's Matthew - DVD (DVD)
This is an extraordinary movie of the life of Jesus based entirely on the Gospel of Matthew. It was the best depiction of Jesus I have ever seen, well done and quite inspirational. Unfortunatly, it is quite expensive and is priced so that most people will have to wait until their church obtains a copy. Highly recommended!
