“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” ~ John 1:1
If you have Netflix and like watching movies about the Bible, you won't want to miss The Lumo Project's The Gospel of John. If you don't have Netflix, get it! Because not only will you be able to watch The Gospel of John, if I understand correctly, soon the other three Gospels will be available for viewing.
About the film:
FOUR
GOSPELS. FOUR FILMS. ONE JESUS STORY. FOR EVERYONE.
A ground
breaking, multi-language biblical film resource transforming the way we
discover, study and engage with the life of Jesus through the four New Testament
Gospels.
The Lumo Project is a ground breaking,
multi-language biblical film resource transforming the way we discover, study
and engage with the life of Jesus through the four New Testament Gospels:
redefining the standard of visual Biblical media. The Lumo Project presents four films – one for each
Gospel account – that will revolutionize the way we all experience the story of
Jesus and the world of First Century Palestine in which he lived.
THE GOSPEL
OF JOHN
The Gospel of
John takes the story of Jesus from John’s gospel with its own unique
characteristics. For John, Jesus is the Word of God made human. John is clear
that that when encounter Jesus, we encounter God. The gospel
writer points to the miracles (the ‘Signs’) and teachings as evidence of Jesus’
special relationship as the divine Son of God.
This full-length
feature film about the life of Jesus takes the actual Gospel text as its script,
word for word, unedited. Five years in the making, this epic production has been
critically acclaimed by leading religious scholars as a unique and highly
authentic telling of the Jesus story. Narrated by leading British actor David
Harewood (‘Homeland’, ‘Blood Diamond’, ‘Merchant of Venice’) it is based on the
latest theological, historical and archaeological research. With specially
constructed sets and the extraordinarily authentic villages and countryside of
rural Morocco, it immerses the viewer in the world of first century
Palestine.
I have never seen a film quite like this one. Word for word, a narration from the book of John. Wow! I watched the NIV version but there are other versions available also. One note of caution though - it is a long film. Two hours and forty minutes.
I loved the videography. The lighting was spectacular! (Being a photographer, I tend to notice things like that). The varying focal points. Very well done.

Watch it. Tell your friends. I really think we need to support films like this to send a message that we want to see more like this instead of the usual Hollywood trash.
Have a great weekend!
