This boxed set is not described here by Amazon, and that makes it impossible to know what the content is. In fact some of the same dvds are offered by Amazon separately, so if you do not know which episodes are in this set you may already have some (like I did when I purchased this) or you may order some on a duplicated basis in the same order. So beware. For your information I will list the content here so that you can avoid this problem.

Format:DVD
Excellent acting throughout! Especially enjoyed watching Oliver Reed, who played Jeremiah.
I loved the films and felt they were an invaluable witness to all, and would definitely recommend them.
I took the Set on holiday to Peru for my relatives.
My daughter's mother in law who is blind could only hear the Jesus film but was profoundly touched by it, she made a lot of appreciative noises and she cannot speak through having a brain tumour. Your thoughts and prayers for her would be greatly appreciated.
Only criticism was, maybe not 100% scripturally precise. An element of poetic licence only so common when producing films.

This is an excellent box set that portrays biblical stories in an 'easy to watch' format. There are varying degrees of accurarcy, and some of the DVD's have stretched poetic licence, but the overall message is there. I would recommend watching the films more than once. The first viewing tends to be entertainment value but subsequent viewings instill the message of the story. The production is realistic and believable. I would strongly recommend buying this. It is ageless and will be in your DVD collection for years to come.

If like me you find it hard to read lots of the OT stories because of unusual names, you could do a lot worse than these DVDs to bring those characters and their stories to life. Read more

Not too sure...
Be aware that, whilst the David DVD is fairly good, having watched Mary Magdalene this bears little relevance to the Biblical account of Mary. Read more

Easy way of getting to know the Bible
I thought this was a great way of getting to know the Bible. For some people the Book can be difficult to read so to watch it on DVD is a lot more relaxed. Read more
