The Mystery of a Nation

This program is part of a series that looks at the Bible and its esoteric teachings. The subject of this volume is the history of the Jewish nation. What were their beliefs? Using scriptural references, illustrated by artwork and reenactments, the program traces the story of the 12 tribes of Israel, descended from Abraham, down to modern times. The prophecies, trials, and tribulations of the Israelites, repeatedly tested by God, are related, with commentary by theologians and historians. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

Jesus - The Center of the Bible

It's no secret that Jesus Christ is the center of the New Testament. This program takes a reverential look at Jesus and recapitulates the powerful Christian drama of his ministry, death, and resurrection, also profiling the holy city of Jerusalem, where the Son of God taught and was crucified by the Roman occupying troops after being condemned by Pontius Pilate. This video is one of a five-part set that also includes Secrets of the Bible: The Mystery of God, Secrets of the Bible: The Mystery of a Nation, Secrets of the Bible: Cultures and Politics, and Secrets of the Bible: The Bible in Everyday Life and Its Traditions. ~ Steve Blackburn, All Movie Guide

Cultures and Politics

This program is part of a series that examines the Bible and its esoteric teachings. In this volume, the subject is culture and politics, and how they relate to faith in God. Can a nation thrive that has no reverence for God? Theologians and Biblical scholars discuss some of the many variations in religious practices and expressions in world societies, from the Anglican Church of England, to the separation of church and state that is fundamental to the Constitution of the United States. Artwork and archival film footage illustrate the points made in this discussion of faith, culture, and politics. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

The Bible in Everyday Life and its Traditions

This volume contains two episodes that investigate the validity of the living Bible in modern, everyday life, by looking at some of the stories from the past. Historians and Biblical scholars discuss the meaning for modern readers in accounts of the trials and tribulations of Job, David, Esther, and other Bible heroes. Artwork and reenactments are used to illustrate the examples. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
