Movies on Bible Characters
I recently discovered a movie series on Bible characters and have since watched Jacob, Solomon and Jeremiah. Both Jacob and Solomon are a good 3-hour long, but are good quality movies. Unlike most Christian movies made today, they were big budget movies filmed on location, got good acting with famous actors and actresses and good quality.
What’s most impressive is the Biblical accuracy in these stories. It wasn’t just a contemporary interpretation of the Bible, but the characters in the stories are often quoting straight out of the Bible. Not only are they enjoyable to watch, but each one gave me new insights into these stories that I’ve read so many times in the Bible.
For example, it wasn’t until “Jacob” that I connected the prophecy of Abraham’s descendents to the biases of Rebecca. It made sense to me that because she heard the prophecy of the 2 nations and the young will rule the old that Rebecca decided to help fulfill that by encouraging Jacob to use deceitful means to get the birthright.
These are available from the public library, but only 3 out of the set of 12. I wonder why they aren’t in any of the major Christian bookstores here? At least I haven't seen or heard about this series before, although it looks like you can easily buy them online.

Yes I sore this series at the Word Christian shop is Southport but I was not sure if they where any good. As each DVD was about $30 each.
Its good to hear that finally there are movies out there that are true to the real store as recorded in the Bible and not someone's interpretation . They come also come in a Box set of all twelve which would be cheaper.
There are several online stores that carry this series, including ChristianCinema.com.
