Critics, per Wikipedia
Jesus of Nazareth premiered on 27 March 1977 on the Italian channel Rai 1; it was broadcast in five episodes, one shown weekly until 25 April. On Palm Sunday, 3 April 1977 – the date of the airing of the second episode – the Pope endorsed the programme in his public address for the holiday and recommended the faithful to view it. The series enjoyed high ratings: the German Dominican friar and film critic Ambros Eichenberger reported that according to local surveys, 84% of the television owners in the larger cities watched the series. For example, the number of viewers for the third episode, aired on 10 April, was estimated to have been 28.3 million. In the United Kingdom and in the United…

I thought you were joking and googled him: “Jonathan Roumie is an American actor known for his role as Jesus in The Chosen, a crowd-funded television series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. In 2023, he portrayed evangelist Lonnie Frisbee in the film Jesus Revolution.”

The British/Argentine beauty was best known for her film roles in " Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet" (Golden Globe Award), "Death on the Nile", the cult classic "Black Christmas" and the tv mini-series "Jesus of Nazareth". Ms. Hussey was 73. #RIP #OliviaHussey

neutral · AI labelView post →What’s your favourite film / TV series based on a biblical story? I’m spending Good Friday thinking about how impactful the (1977) Jesus of Nazareth TV series was on me as a child. It was made before my time, but there must have been reruns on TV.
positive · AI labelView post →Republicans couldn’t care less if somebody who is not one of their tribe is suffering or dying. They pretend to be followers of Jesus but, their deeds show that they only care for Jesus the Republican. As for Jesus of Nazareth, he is a brown immigrant. Screw him and his brethren, they say.
neutral · AI labelView post →My only quibble is that I don't think he's using religious messaging "against them." I think (and I think he thinks) he's using religious messaging in a way that aligns with his faith, the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and it just happens to show their hypocrisy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Agreed. Jesus of Nazareth had a lot to say about putting on a show of piety.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's just a really shallow idea of what healing actually looks like. Nothing about it reads as realistic or authentic, there are ways you can show someone is healING without pulling the Jesus of Nazareth "he's miraculously healed somehow for no reason" bullshit. Like you can't even use the hotel as

Hebrews 13:2: ..show hospitality to strangers. Matthew 25:35: "I was a stranger and you invited me in." - Jesus of Nazareth
neutral · AI labelView post →Does the existence of other katabatic stories have ANY bearing on the katabatic myth regarding Jesus of Nazareth? No, none whatsoever. The attempt to show that the Christ story is not unique (and therefore not true) is bizarre and infantile, not to mention logically invalid.

The Muppet Show was a sustained hit and further success was had with the epic bio-serial Jesus of Nazareth. Evidently, Year 2 just wasn't enough of a hit to justify the series' continuation.

neutral · AI labelView post →When the pope has a private opinion, it's something like Joseph Ratzinger publishing a theology book under his birth name while he's pope. Jesus of Nazareth is a good book series, but it is clearly not a papal document
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember Hans Kung in “On Being Christian”… our only job as Christians is to bear witness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. As Christians we must continue to show compassion for those who miss the essential message. I shared similar feelings after 3 decades of teaching…

neutral · AI labelView post →In the 70s, I think the only longer-run ITC film series (not TVMs or mini-series like 'Jesus of Nazareth') to get at least partial network ITV slots were 'The Persuaders!' (most regions), the Sep-Dec '75 run of 'Space 1999' (split Thu/Sat evenings) and later 'Return of the Saint' ... missed any?
neutral · AI labelView post →Did anyone used to watch Jesus of Nazareth as a kid, used to be on tv in Athens in the upcoming Holy Week, obvs he def looked nothing like the Jesus in that show but he will always look like that to me
positive · AI labelView post →I came across John Stott via a series by Premier Radio. He was a well known evangelist in his time. This series seems to be an early one of his, judging by the recording quality. A good starting point is "Who was Jesus of Nazareth" allsouls.org/Groups/31736...

Calvary is the name of the hill where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. Some people also use it to describe artwork of the crucifixion. It is always capitalized. #EditorsNote
neutral · AI labelView post →A really good detailed piece on the BBC’s 1954 Bible series JESUS OF NAZARETH.
neutral · AI labelView post →Franco Zeffirelli’s “Jesus of Nazareth” (1977) is arguably my favorite miniseries. Robert Powell as Jesus is technically whitewashed, but it’s an incredibly profound series with an all-time, knockout star-studded cast (Peter Ustinov, James Earl Jones, Ian McShane, Olivia Hussey just to name some)
positive · AI labelView post →I bought the album in 1973. Very enlightening for a young teenager as I was then. Ian Gillan vocals on Gethsemane is incredible. The clip you have there isn't from the movie though, it's from the 1977 TV series 'Jesus of Nazareth', starring Robert Powell.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway there was a Peter and Paul miniseries (looking it up, staring Anthony Hopkins as Paul) in the early 80s that I'm wondering now how it holds up. I haven't seen it since the late 80s where they would show it as part of holiday reruns. (But less frequently than Jesus of Nazareth, or 10 Cmdmts)

Zoom-in on Jesus's eyes, dramatic chord plays, end of season>
neutral · AI labelView post →My belief as an atheist was that God did not exist, the Bible was not a credible compilation of writings, and that Jesus of Nazareth never existed. However, a guest on my radio talk show in 1971 challenged my thinking about that. 1/3

You don’t even have to do history to know that. Just read your goddamn Bible about his LIBERAL acts. BTW #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles youtube.com/watch?v=SUi1...
neutral · AI labelView post →> And the only proof of any "miracle" in the bible is - guess what? - cited using the bible. That's what circular reasoning is. Actually, no. It's not. If I was saying "This miracle happened which is why the Bible is true, the proof it happened is because the Bible says so and it did because it's true" then yes, that would be circular reasoning. To develop this further because I enjoy infodumping on my special interests, you can divide the Bible into two natures: theological and historical.…
