About The Bible Series Box Set
King Solomon led a grand life, thus rating this epic movie told in two parts, averaging 86 minutes apiece. Director Roger Young chronicles the king's rise from the weakling mama's boy of Bathsheba to a ruler known for his wisdom, international alliances, construction of the Jewish temple, and oh yes, those thousand wives--concubines included. Part 1 spends the first hour tracing the rivalry of Solomon (Ben Cross) with half-brother Adonijah, before and after the death of their father King David (Max Von Sydow in a brief appearance). It then makes a 10-year leap to dramatize his famous method of divining the true mother of a contested infant. In Part 2, the filmmakers embrace the legend that Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (Vivica A. Fox) had a romantic as well as political alliance, suggesting that they were the star-crossed loves of each other's life and introducing some soft-focus nudity. With the queen's departure, Solomon descends into materialism and idolatry. The performances are strong and the script, penned by Bradley Winter, artfully weaves in background information to give the viewer helpful historical context. --Kimberly Heinrichs Amazon.com

3 of the 4 videos are extremely informative. However, the Genesis video was of no value to me.
July 4, 2008These are very good movies that are very close to the biblical account. We watch them with Bible in hand so we can determine how much is biblical and how much is "artistic liberty" and these are really good overall!
July 1, 2008SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET MY HUSBAND TO READ THE BIBLE. BUT, HE HAS THROUGHLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE BIBLE VIDEOS. THEY ARE GREAT AND A GREAT TEACHING METHOD.
March 11, 2008I think that everyone should get this Bible Series Box Set. It's great for a family night.... Also it helps you to understand the bible.
February 22, 2008 |  | Great, but a little too much "Hollywood" in places |  |
These movies are great for the most part. My only disappointment was Solomon. It contained a lot of "extra" that is clearly not biblical. These great Bible stories are much better if told accurately in my opinion. Genesis is narrated and is more of a documentary but still good. I do recommend the set. A great value and very enjoyable.
