 Good movies! December 30, 2008
Derek Shaver (Mountains of W.V)
First off, I am well pleased with these movies. I was pleasantly suprised with the quality of the acting, sets, and costumes of the films. I'm a big movie buff and also an avid reader of the Bible and a believer and While these movies might not be 100.00% biblically accurate they come much closer than what you could really ever hope to find. I found myself inspired by the films and still pleasantly entertained. Lets face it folks Cecil B Demille's The Ten commandments and Jesus of Nazareth are NOT perfect in their delivery of scriptural truth. But many people fail to realize these are MOVIES..they are designed for entertainment. The Holy Bible isn't for entertainment it is for learning! See what I'm getting at here? Liberties are taken with the stories in some areas with the Bible Collection films but for the most part the major and/or important events seem to have been handled with great care and the liberties that are taken did not seem to detract from or deface the biblical characters or events in any way. So I'll break down my reviews into little bits for each type of person who may be looking to buy this set.
~IF you are trying to be lazy and find a movie so you do not have to read a Bible to find out the facts about the real stories...Just stop. There is NO substitute for good old fashioned Bible study. Buy the movies but please at least try and read it for yourself. Most of these movies are 3 hours long and most are pulled from the book of genesis and could be read in far less time than that!
~IF you are a Movie Fan who also enjoys the stories of the Bible...I think you'll find the purchase of this set or any of the Bible collection movies worth your time and money.
~If your trying to expand your Bible studies and are branching out into the visual and human qualities of the characters of the Bible these movies have alot of good ideas about what things may have been like during these times and for these characters personally. Helps to kinda fill in the gaps between the Who , what , when and where's of the scriptures. I recommend this as an ADDITION to a Bible study. Perhaps follow along with a Bible in hand and still have a bit of fun while learning.
~If your just a movie Fan period. I think these movies stand alone as good quality entertainment. Minus a few million dollars in the budget making them but, still deliver a good bang for the buck.
So in short: The Bible Collection movies are Good movies! perhaps even inspiring!...perhaps even very very close to scriptures!..but are certainly not a substitute for actually reading or hearing the Bible itself.
Excellent !!! December 15, 2008

I loved this movie! The acting is Excellent!
Show your support of the making of good movies that support virtue. Buy a NEW DVD to encourage Hollywood to produce more Christian movies. Buying a NEW DVD is like voting for more good Christian movies. I hope and pray that they will produce other movies from the Bible, like Daniel, and Jonah ECT..
From the Bible John 3:16 = For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God bless you
Great to Help you remember Old Testament History. November 13, 2008
kindred spirit (God's Country)
This is one of the best Old testaments movies I have seen yet and I have seen many. It is true to the Bible and very exciting.
Old Testament history is hard to keep straight as so very much happens but this film will burn this time of Saul and David and his son Solomon in your mind and heart not to be forgotten.
The acting is wonderful and everything looks real life, like you are there with them.
There is of course a lot of killing. It may be too much for small children. Although David sins he still remains a man after God's own heart. God has mercy on him many times. He had to pay dearly for his sins. All that God foretold comes true.
A must of all lovers of Old Testament history.

This would have been a pretty good movie but i could not stomache all the killing. I suggest it maybe for a man but, women no.
