    • Trivia
      The dialog follows the Good News Bible, word for word, in sequential order from beginning to end.
    • Goofs
      After Jesus performs his first miracle of turning the water into wine at the wedding feast, he pours the wine into what appears to be a plastic cup (to help us see the color of what was water). Actually, colorless glass has been around since approximately the 9th century BC.

    Inspiring!

    I loved this movie, and I am actually a Muslim. The fact that the screenplay is so word for word faithful adds alot to the movie. And the acting and directing are fantastic. The film does a wonderful job of making you feel what life was like for Jesus, his disciples, and those he came across. I hope there will be such films made of the other gospels soon.
