 Mysteries January 6, 2009
Excellent product. I would recommend it for all who study the Bible, as Paul says the mysteries are no more and Jesus says you can tell my disciple for they continue in my word.
 Secular, skeptical, and at times blasphemous; poor overall September 19, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
While several of the videos were fairly well done, overall the "mysteries of the Bible" always seemed to be...did it ever really happen? or did it really happen the way the Bible says? To me it seemed to have an overall aura of attempting to discredit what the Bible says, not trying to find evidence to support it.
In particular, "the lost years of Jesus" went over the top suggesting Jesus became a student of Buddha and His ministry was influenced by Buddhist philosophy. A few other videos were entertaining, but no new information was given, and I really learned nothing that I didn't already know from the Bible or other historical sources.

I found this series to be very informative, well produced and thought-provoking. Enjoy it very much.
Good series June 26, 2008
I always enjoyed watching this when it aired on TV. It gives fresh perspective on the Bible stories we all loved and wanted to know more about. They go as in depth as you could expect for an hour long show. Well worth the purchase price.
Mesmerizing and Addicting April 23, 2008
I own the boxed set of this collection. Even though I was an avid fan of the show, I still re-watch the DVD episodes with rapt attention. Unlike many religious themed films, this series does not promote a specific point of view. Viewers of all faiths and denominations will find that it deepens and enriches their understanding and appreciation for the spiritual lessons of the Bible. Each episode is well-rounded, beautifully photographed and a complete delight to watch.
The Mysteries of the Bible series weaves questions about the Biblical figures, culture and spiritual meaning into a visual and intellectual feast. It combines actual footage of locations in the Bible with amazing religious art, captivating narration and answers from archeology and a spectrum of Biblical scholars. It's a formula that mesmerized fans for years. Who would have thought that a show like this would so captivate the non-scholars among us?
This series succeeded for so long because it recognized that readers of the world's most popular book want to know and understand more about the culture, context and deeper meanings of the Bible. You won't regret purchasing any of the episodes or DVD's. This series represents the best of the best.
