5.0 out of 5 stars Bible History re-created by computer animation!, October 14, 2004

By 

MRB "Busy woman" - See all my reviews

This review is from: iLumina Gold (CD-ROM)

For the Missouri reviewer to say "beware" is simply not fair to the producers of this product. I am sure his review of The Passion DVD would also say "beware".
I was personally on the studio set by chance when the iLumina people were filming Jesus' tomb scenes. I watched as the actress playing Mary did her scene over and over, so that they could capture the pure shock and wonder of Mary seeing an empty tomb. How marvelous it was to see that filming!
Objects like a table and a cave may not be totally accurate computer-generating renderings for that Missouri reviewer, but that doesn't mean people should "beware" of the product! Should we discount the impact of The Passion movie and DVD because of the inaccuracies in it?

5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging Bible study tool, November 15, 2004

By 

NNS "Nelson" (Orlando, Fl USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: iLumina Gold (CD-ROM)

I have found the iLumina Gold Bible and encyclopedia software to be incredibly helpful in my Bible study. If there is something that I need more information on, it is immediately available at the click of the mouse. The "My Study Center" search brings all the related Scripture, articles, animation, photos and maps right to me. The virtual tours put you right in the place and time, and are truly incredible to watch. I've recommended iLumina Gold to my group leader because so much valuable material can be cut and pasted for handouts and presentations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Bible Study Tool, November 29, 2006

This review is from: iLumina Gold (CD-ROM)

This is an awesome tool for studying the bible. As an Adult Bible Study teacher, this has been the most valuable resource in preparing lessons. This software contains excellent cross references, commentaries, and maps that can easily be copied into a word or power point presentation. The animations and virtual tours are excellent although I wish there were more of them. The animations and virtual tour of the Old Testament Tabernacle totally opened my eyes to a very hard to understand section of the bible and help me realize how Jesus fullfilled the Old Testament Law.
