BIBLE COLLECTION = 5 STARS
SELLER = 0 STARS

First off, be warned, I received the 6 DVD's a few days late but on top of that, only TWO of the SIX movies play properly. Only Joseph and Jacob play right. Missing Scenes: Abraham - the entire Sodom/Gomorrah fight, Moses - every plague except the first and all the way up to after Jethro meets up with Moses again in the desert, David - the meeting of David and Samuel all the way up to Uriah being killed and a good chunk of Samson and Delilah is scrambled too. THESE ARE COPIED DVD'S, NOT ORIGINALS. The ink is smeared on all of them so its easy to tell. The ink on the dvd's and the box cover too. I got nice n ripped off, so be careful. I may have to rebuy these all individually because I can't some "Christians".

That said, 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!

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

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.
