Manfriend and I were OBSESSED with The Bible over the summer. Like the DVD, not the actual reading material.
I thought the important aspects of the Old Testament were portrayed extremely
well in the series, minus the fact that Samson’s character was a black man, and
we all know Samson wasn’t black. But other than that, I thought it was great.
Which brings me to my review of The
Exodus Reality: Unearthing the Real History of Moses, Identifying the Pharaohs,
and Examining the Exodus from Egypt, which was also amaze.
In The
Exodus Reality, authors Scott Alan Roberts and Dr. John Ward collaborate to
summarize their two concepts of Moses, based on a large amount of research
(obvious from the notes/appendixes). It is an extremely helpful resource for
those of you studying the topic yourselves, while also being informative yet
entertaining for the rest of us less scholarly readers.
of all the things in the series that shouldn't have sat right with you, the fact that they depicted his skin color to dark was an issue? So the fact that Jesus is always portrayed as white and sometimes with blue eyes isn't unsettling? That was something minor in all the bs that is the bible.
