While it was definitely an enjoyable series, it seems that too much creative licence was involved in its production. But at the same time I do not think that the intent of the series was to remain completely true to the source material. If one is familiar with the Bible, one will notice unnecessary inaccuracies, an incorrect sequence of events and things which are just not in the Bible at all. It also feels as if the producers had toned it down so as not to offend anyone. They excluded some of the most important theological material. The 10 commandments are given to Moses and yet they are not read for those unfamiliar with them, this was a grave mistake for without the Law we do not become aware of our sin. They also failed to mention the golden calf. In regards to Jesus, they should have taken advantage of the opportunity and included Jesus' sermon on the mount. They also did not seem to express important points, such as when Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life." They did not continue with "No one comes to the father except through me." From a Christian perspective, this is very wrong theologically, Christ IS the ONLY way. This would have been a great way to share the Gospel with the lost, but it feels like they wasted great opportunities and just when they were getting to important stuff they sort of stopped and fell flat. While the selection of events within the series was satisfactory, they certainly could have included more material. All in all, I do not think that I would recommend this to the lost. While it does give a decent overview of the events of the Bible, much important material is absent and as a result I feel as if this series could possibly create false converts and certainly misinform people.
