Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Steineded How sad is this?

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

ellenirishellen-62962 The series had top actors,not all were great,but George Macready was in a compilation called I Beheld His Glory.George could sometimes be over-the-top,but not in Beheld or the 2 episodes he appeared in in which he was not the star.Lowell Gilmore quite good,he and Macready worked together in 3 costume dramas,2 Sherwood/Robin Hood films,and The Black Arrow.The actors seemed to respect the religious themes of the productions,and the costumes were okay,acting the best as could be expected of low budget of the Church.It really helps when trying to learn a little more about the Life Of Christ that things were taken seriously and not going for sensationalism,like today.

nellybly I was given the two disc set for Christmas and as a Baptist had several doctrinal issues with the first part of the first disc (dealing with Christ's birth and youth). It's got a strong Catholic extra-Bible bent. Some of the omissions bothered me too.But the events of His adulthood, since they stayed close the spoken words (in modern English, no problem, I'm not a "if the KJV was good enough Paul, it's good enough for me.") of Christ Himself, were a real blessing and helped make the Bible real.The actors were really quite good for a low-budget project. There's a tendency (even in a large budget, or especially) to go over the top with the acting. Most of them were natural and believable. The man who played Christ was really good and didn't go around with his eyes and arms raised to Heaven constantly. I was actually able to lose myself in the story.Though he's not given credit, nor even mentioned, Lawrence Dobkin was John the Baptist and was excellent.Even the actors in the smallest roles were, for the most part, very professional. I didn't feel like I was watching "amateur night".If you're Catholic or don't mind, the entire series should be all right. Any other denomination, you might, like me, prefer the episodes that take place when Christ was an adult.Quality of the film itself is a whole 'nother story. It has not been restored in any way and the color has gone somewhat sepia. There's lots of scratches and the soundtrack sometimes has sounds and words that are distorted or lost. The films were undoubtedly played a lot and got pretty wore out. Another poster mentioned them being shown at churches and on TV (I don't recall watching it but I may have as a child). Well, at least they have all the episodes.

setistars-1 Most people do not realize is this is a 12 -30 min episode of jesus.It was shown at local churches through out the country.I remember it at my church,it was shown on sunday evening.This was never meant to play at theaters,just at churches and sometimes television.Even though it was filmed on a low budget,it does carry the message of jesus well.

zoomer48 I have seen this movie "THE LIVING CHRIST SERIES" also known under other titles and if you know your BIBLE you will appreciate this movie.It's a low budget old movie but it's what people need,"THE TRUTH" THE WORD OF GOD. ROBERT WILSON who played JESUS did a great job THANKS BOB
