Yea!!! That's GREAT!!!
What's going on around here is not much!!!
Do any of you have the "Visual Bible"? So far, it's only available for Matthew and Acts. I asked "Santa" for either one on DVD for Christmas and I got both!! ("Santa" is really good to me!)
For those not familiar with it, it's a dramatized word-for-word Bible, with actors playing the parts, in the dress of the time in which it was written. In the Matthew one, Richard Kiley plays Matthew, and a guy named Bruce Marchiano plays Jesus. It is just incredibly awesome! The speaking parts are just what is written in the Bible.
Now, to preface this, you need to understand I am what you might call "anal retentive", left-brained, just plain old black and white, everything lined up, or whatever you want to call it and NO imagination! This DVD has totally revitalized my Bible reading! The guy who plays Jesus is just incredible...he's very "real", and down to earth. He smiles a lot, just like Jesus would probably do. And the parts where Jesus heals people is awesome! I never really thought about crowd reaction, or Jesus' reaction, or the reaction of the one who was healed, but this shows them CELEBRATING! The crowd is laughing and cheering, Jesus is EXCITED, and the one who was healed is REJOICING!! Has totally expanded my Bible study to help me realize what it must have REALLY been like!!
So, that's what I'm doing tonight..."reading" Matthew!!!
Can't wait to see what they do with Acts!!
