Description |
|
An epic in the spirit of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, this widely acclaimed motion picture is a meticulous recreation of the turbulent era of Jesus and the events that changed the course of history! Narrated by Golden Globe nominee Christopher Plummer (Best Supporting Actor, AMERICAN TRAGEDY, 2000), it’s the bold and powerful story of Jesus as told by his disciple John. The best-loved but least understood of the gospels, John presents a uniquely human portrait of courage and passion encompassing Jesus' entire three-year ministry, the final years of his life. Intimate and reflective, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the incomparable life and times of Jesus Christ. |

Gospel of John |
The movie begins with the claim that "this is a faithful representation of the gospel". I certainly found it to be a faithful representation of the teachings of Jesus the movie was good not as good as some of the other religious movies I have seen but it was still very heart felt. I did really enjoy the quality of this movie even though it didn't seem to fit the description of Christ. However having seen little to no previews about this movie I did grasp the whole concept pretty well. Jesus' character was so real and touchable he makes the viewer unable to resist wanting to know this Jesus of the Bible story. Overall, from the information I have received they did a great job of taking the Gospel of John and recreating it. In a very easy to understand format the gospel is given in power and love. The movie is rated PG-13 because of the violence of the crucifiction scene, but I don't believe there is anything in this movie that can't be viewed by all because it promotes compassion and understanding unlike what we see in the movies today. This would absolutely be the perfect movie for the whole family to see together. I feel that it is absolutely a reminder that all of us must remember the true teachings of Jesus Christ. As he resurfaced the point in the movie that we must love one another. I hope that the message of this movie will reach everybody who watched it and change them for the good. My husband said to him this was the best film he had seen since the Ten Commandments. Most people haven't read the bible and there are some who have attempted but seem to still have very strong opinion about it. They did an excellent job of telling the Gospel word for word.

The Power of GOD's WORD makes this D.V.D. |
|
When I first starting watching this D.V.D. I thought, "ok, it's not going to be a Hollywood 'King of Kings' or 'The Greatest Story ever Told' styled film on Christianity due to it's less than Hollywood production capabilities". Then, as the movie reeled on I found myself enwrapped in the WORDS of GOD. This movie IS the spoken WORD of the book of John! And, at the end of the movie, if you are a child of GOD, you will be in spiritual arrest! Out of over a 500 D.V.D.s that I have collected over the years, this film is my favorite Christian film. |

Very enjoyable |
|
We really enjoyed the DVD. Most films add a lot of "artistic license" which are actually deviations from historical and Biblical truth. This one is not perfect but is very well done. If you have the background from "The Stranger On The Road To Emmaus," it helps to bring the whole Bible together and shows Jesus as the fulfillment of God's plan for mankind since Creation. |

Must See |
|
I really enjoyed this film. The film followed closely to the Gospel Of John. You can have your Bible open to John and follow along. Worth giving to someone who is a new christian. |
