Aweful!!

This was a "Bible" series video? Give me a break! There was nothing biblical at all in this farce of a dramatization. The acting was aweful, just aweful! This was a total waste of money. I wish I could give this a minus 1. I regret I ever bought this waste of videography. I just turned it off after 30 minutes, too disgusted to view any further. September 30, 2008

Good movie

I loved this movie the reason i did not give 5 stars is because when David takes notice of bathesheba standing next to the window you can see her buttocks. That should not be in this film but i will delete tha 2-3 seconds off of me video.

A Great Bible Visual!

This brown cover Bible Collection includes the 6 following dvds: ABRAHAM, DAVID,JACOB,JOSEPH, MOSES, SAMSON and DELILAH.
I usually don't write reviews as a critical writer but, I thought it was important to convey the greatness of this collection for Bible study-along side of your Bible. I am an avid Bible study student and I will say that these dvds are the greatest visual study tool to learn from in regards to cuture of the time, expressiveness, and extent of bringing the Bible to life. I will assure you that reading the Bible is first and foremost, but you should know not every detail may come from the Bible as for "word for word" but much of the culture of the time is evident. I know many will argue over "exactness" of words and details out of Bible text. The overall stories were not meant to take the place of the Bible, just enhance the overall meaning through a more "visual" format of Bible culture and Biblical truth.
I would say that it has enlightened my studies of the Bible and gave me alot of insight. I would highly recommend these dvds to anyone who loves to read the Bible and is not stuck on "paraphrasing" every word but, a person who loves to have the knowledge of scriptural messages and stories in an entertaining visual way. It is well worth the cost for the knowledge and entertainment that captures your heart of God's truth! July 26, 2008

Well worth the purchase!

I purchased these movies for my husband. He wanted something that would help him visualize the stories in the Bible. We watch them with Bible in hand so I can point out what is biblical and what is "artistic liberty". I am pleased to see that these movies stay very close to the biblical accounts. I am very pleased with this purchase! July 1, 2008
