Movie Reviews of Discovering the Bible
Movie Review: An Excellent Curriculum Series for introduction of Bible!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether one is well-versed in the Bible contents or completely new, this carefully designed four part program hosted by Russell Boulter will provide entertaining & educational information of what the Bible is all about, how we got it & how to use it, in an easy-to-understand format. Designed for use over a four or eight-week period, the half our episodes each consider different parts, and themes of the Bible. In addition to the actual episodes, this curriculum guide also includes an accompanying 32-page color booklet, six bulletin inserts, student worksheets, and a leader's guide.
Four half-hour programs featured in this curriculum are:
PROGRAM 1: GETTING ACQUAINTED
Bible is the all-time best-seller since the beginning of printing. It has produced passionate controversy for centuries. What is the book that is like none other in the history of the world? Where did it come from? What does it consist of? Does it still speak to us today? This part is a general overview, giving a basic introduction to the Bible: its history, publication, controversy, origin of name, content, length of time to write, language written in, and format.
PROGRAM 2: THE OLD TESTAMENT
Bible is not only an ancient book but far more. It's a kind of love letter and a still-living legacy that shaped the identity of a unique people. This part focuses on the Old Testament. It explains the meaning of testament, the three divisions, what the OT scriptures revolve around, scribes etc. It also discusses the Dead Sea Scrolls and the accurate preservation of the contents over millennia which underscores the marvel of these writings.
PROGRAM 3: THE NEW TESTAMENT
New testament is a book that centers on Jesus. But how do we know we have the actual words of Jesus? How were the books of the New Testament gathered and selected? What's it all about? How does the New Testament build upon but differ from the Old Testament? This part describes the links and contrasts of the testaments, four sections of the New Testament, history of the writings, the forming of the canon, and preservation of the old texts.
PROGRAM 4: SURVIVAL, SPREAD AND INFLUENCE
This part comments on the various obstacles and people and events that helped preserve the Scriptures over many centuries. Despite attempts of tyrants to destroy it, the Bible has endured and become the most translated and circulated book ever. It was translated into various art forms and given to us in English through heroic efforts. It's the book that influenced the lives that influenced the world.
Vibrant Middle Eastern background music, scenery, acting, paintings, photos, PowerPoint presentations, and comments from learned consultants are used to illuminate the uniqueness and reliability of the Bible. English host R. Boulter converses in clear, concise tomes that are easy to understand. Much research has gone into this study, which is good for beginning Christians as well as all believers who want to understand more about the Bible. The format of the half-hour programs and chapters lend it well to Bible study groups. It is an excellent teaching tool for Bible students, churches and libraries the world over.
