Being Christian and all, I guess Passover is a special holiday. It reminds us of a lot of things.
I'm not here to preach or say what you should believe in.
But to me, Jesus means a lot, even though he died so many years ago, I know he is always by my side, even though there might be times I believe he's not.
Anyway, this weekend I found out about a very interesting tv-series called The Bible. I have been hooked every night, and I have to say, they have made it really well.
Although there are some characters looking totally different what I imagined, they have been able to catch many things that none else has done before.
Plot
The series covers "Genesis to Revelation" in "one grand narrative," within five two-hour parts,each containing two or three biblical stories told through live action and computer-generated imagery. It includes "obvious" stories such as Noah's Ark, the Exodus, and the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Five hours are taken from the Old Testament, five from the New. The series is based on the New International Version and the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
"God loves each one of us as if we were the only person in all the world to love."
