Journeying with Jesus in the Holy Land

The indefatigable and enthusiastic David Nunn (see Galloping Through the Gospels [VL-7/03] and Exploring Biblical Jordan [VL-1/04]) is once again our guide in this travelogue documentary that focuses on sites associated with the life of Jesus. Divided into 16 segments (which run consecutively but can be accessed separately from the menu), the program visits Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Capernaum, the Sea of Galilee, the Garden of Gethsemane, and Golgotha, among other locations, with Nunn providing scriptural commentary, backed by illustrations and music complementing the pleasant cinematography. Church interiors and archaeological sites in modern-day Israel help pinpoint probable locations of specific biblical events, providing a solid overview of the pilgrimage experience for both prospective tourists and armchair travelers.
