An epic in the spirit of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, this widely acclaimed motion picture is a meticulous recreation of the turbulent era of Jesus and the events that changed the course of history! Narrated by Golden Globe nominee Christopher Plummer (Best Supporting Actor, AMERICAN TRAGEDY, 2000), it’s the bold and powerful story of Jesus as told by his disciple John. The best-loved but least understood of the gospels, John presents a uniquely human portrait of courage and passion encompassing Jesus' entire three-year ministry, the final years of his life. Intimate and reflective, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the incomparable life and times of Jesus Christ.

Summary: Great Film
Comment: The Gospel of John (2003) is a great epic film told by the perspective of John His disciple. The film covers Jesus' entire ministry and His last years.
If you're interested in Jesus and want to find out more about God, Jesus and the afterlife I suggest you read "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. The book is Great.

Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: My family and I weren't sure what to expect from this when we borrowed it from the library, but were spectacularly surprised. As soon as we watched it, we had to order it!
The dramatization brought a new perspective on these verses. I remember telling my husband that I never had a concept of seeing Christ smile, but you see human emotion in this movie. The crucifixion is not especially gory, but the piercing of Jesus' side and breaking of the theives' legs caught me a little off guard.
The verses are quoted verbatim from the Good News Bible and none are left out in the three hour version. We have not watched the shorter version, but a guide is included for both to show you the chapters.
Overall a wonderful way to listen and watch the Bible come to life!

Summary: Please support good movies
Comment: I loved this movie!
Show your support of the making of good movies that support virtue. Buy a NEW DVD to encourage Hollywood to produce more Christian movies. Buying a NEW DVD is like voting for more good Christian movies. I hope and pray that they will produce other movies from the Bible, like Daniel, and Jonah ECT..
God bless you

Summary: Gospel of John
Comment: The movie begins with the claim that "this is a faithful representation of the gospel". I certainly found it to be a faithful representation of the teachings of Jesus the movie was good not as good as some of the other religious movies I have seen but it was still very heart felt. I did really enjoy the quality of this movie even though it didn't seem to fit the description of Christ. However having seen little to no previews about this movie I did grasp the whole concept pretty well. Jesus' character was so real and touchable he makes the viewer unable to resist wanting to know this Jesus of the Bible story. Overall, from the information I have received they did a great job of taking the Gospel of John and recreating it. In a very easy to understand format the gospel is given in power and love. The movie is rated PG-13 because of the violence of the crucifiction scene, but I don't believe there is anything in this movie that can't be viewed by all because it promotes compassion and understanding unlike what we see in the movies today. This would absolutely be the perfect movie for the whole family to see together. I feel that it is absolutely a reminder that all of us must remember the true teachings of Jesus Christ. As he resurfaced the point in the movie that we must love one another. I hope that the message of this movie will reach everybody who watched it and change them for the good. My husband said to him this was the best film he had seen since the Ten Commandments. Most people haven't read the bible and there are some who have attempted but seem to still have very strong opinion about it. They did an excellent job of telling the Gospel word for word.

Summary: The Power of GOD's WORD makes this D.V.D.
Comment: When I first starting watching this D.V.D. I thought, "ok, it's not going to be a Hollywood 'King of Kings' or 'The Greatest Story ever Told' styled film on Christianity due to it's less than Hollywood production capabilities". Then, as the movie reeled on I found myself enwrapped in the WORDS of GOD. This movie IS the spoken WORD of the book of John! And, at the end of the movie, if you are a child of GOD, you will be in spiritual arrest! Out of over a 500 D.V.D.s that I have collected over the years, this film is my favorite Christian film.
