 Bible characters made human February 2, 2008
David is my favuorite bible character, flawed human who loves the Lord dearly. The producers' despite the budget constraints did a good job. It's good to see bible characters brought to life even with the dramatic license in some scenes. Bathsheba seems to have ended up as David's favourite wife and only 3 wives are mentioned tho I believe he had 8 wives. I look foward to watching Solomon DVD.
Scripture based movie collection stays close to the scripture account December 17, 2007

I teach the Old Testament to a group of high school students every morning at 6:30 am. I used these movies to give them a visual idea of what it might be like to have lived in those days. This series stays very close to the actual scriptural accounts, e.g., Aaron speakes for Moses, because Moses is slow of speach. I had my students read the scriptural account and then give a critical review - What is in the Bible that is not in the movie and vice versa. They loved the experience and noted that in the account of Moses they left out the plague of flies and the fact that there were hundreds of thousands that left Egypt not just hundreds but the kids understood budget contraints. All in all excellent series.

These movies are irreplaceable! Joseph is my favorite movie ever made. Probably my favorite biblical figure besides Jesus and his story is told fairly well. Abraham is my 2nd fav of the bunch and then I guess David in 3rd but they are all great in my opinion.
If you like this series check out the Gospel of John on dvd.
Great acting and very accurate, overall great quality! December 3, 2007

Most of these are 3 hour movies that seem to have been a series on TV. I loved these movies which made the Bible so vivid. Great acting and the script is pretty accurate. This is a great way to get kids involved in the history of the Bible (beware of Samson which may have some R rated material). I love having the set, so much cheaper than buying them individually.
 Bible Video Collection Worth the money November 27, 2007

The VeggieTales will always be a great family tradition! However, with my children now in their teenage years, they are really getting into the live drama, with period costumes and ancient traditions. Overall, the stoylines are right in line with the scriptures, although for time reasons they did condense a few things. The personalites are at the directors discretion, but given the culture at the time, I believe the direction was spot on. The acting is wonderful...how can you go wrong with Ben Kingsly?! As potifer, he was both compassionate and stern, and as Moses...well, I had to get used to him with hair, hahha. The make-up, age progression, everything was amazing. Nothing distracted from the storyline, other than a few "bad acting' spots from supporting actors. Oh and there was a very provocative bath scene with Joseph and Potifers wife...fast forwarding is a good option there.
Each of the stories take take place with great understanding of the ancient culture and traditions. As well, these movies help to clarify the generations ...who was the father of whom, and how they are all related. The videos develop well knowm Bible personalities into real people, which makes identifying with them easier for those of us who like "visual clarification". My whole family has truly enjoyed these videos. You know it's a great movie when your teenager says "Do the scriptures really say that?". And you can open up your Bible and say..."Yep, here in Exodus 9. Will you read it to us?". You get the idea =) Now, get the set. It's well worth the money.
