If you like this movie or you were thinking of getting it for your collection, get the ministry edition. I'm personally not to crazy about the Good News translation, but this is a word for word movie straight from the Gospel of John. Lots of extras on both dvds, you can really spend a long time with the extras they provided. The best feature in the ministry edition is you can watch the movie with the option to understand certain contexts of Scripture. If you are looking for a movie about Jesus there have been several made, but this is the only one that gets it to true Scripture. Stick with the Bible, but this is nice to have.

This is my favorite movie next to Mel's Passion Of The Christ. True to the book of John, verse by verse, we see the person of Jesus, and the actor does a magnificent job of portraying Him. I can see the love of the Savior in his eyes. The visual gospel brings it to life and gives us a glimpse of the time when Jesus walked the earth. The great miracles and parables of Jesus are portrayed beautifully. I recommend this to all people who love Him and want to try to look back in time and get a glimpse of Jesus. Awesome movie.

I would highly recommend The Gospel of John, translation of the American Bible Society. I watched the entire movie during Christmas,and was so happy I added this DVD to my biblical collection. The movie is rich in accurate scriptures, and the actor Henry Ian Cusick, is one of the best portrayers of Jesus I have seen. The quality is right up there with the Nativity, Jeremiah, and The Passion.

A faithful production on the gospel of John with a great quality that transports us to the times during the life of Jesus and shows him and his message to us.
An excellent tool to share the gospel to others.
Is one of the best acquisitions than I realised.

I fell in love with DVD, it has also been a great teaching tool for my Sunday morning class to watch the bible come to life. We will also be using the video for my men's small group bible study.
