The Gospel of John
Narrated by Christopher
Plummer, this is the bold
and powerful story of Jesus
as told by his disciple John.
Based on the Good News Bible,
it stars Henry Ian Cusick (of
TV’s Lost) as Jesus. Intimate
and reflective, The Gospel of
John offers an unparalleled
opportunity to experience the
incomparable life and times of
Jesus Christ. (One erroneous and
disappointing scene in this generally excellent film depicts
Mary Magdalene present at the Last Supper.)

Lost Gospels or
False Gospels
Recent media stories and certain
best-selling books have
alerted the public to alternative
writings about Jesus, leading
many people—including
many believers—to wonder
why we should consider only
the four New Testament gospels
as “gospel truth.” The
alternative writings about
Jesus bear the names of such
prominent early Christians as Peter, Thomas, Mary
Magdalene, Judas, James, and Andrew. Are these
works “lost gospels” or “false gospels” Featuring:
Jesuit Father Mitch Pacwa, Dr. Craig Evans, Dr. Ben
Witherington, Dr. Timothy Gray, Dr. Edward Sri,
Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, Dr. Craig Blomberg, and Dr.
Gary Habermas.

to show that there was no
Resurrection. Did Jesus Really
Rise from the Dead carefully
scrutinizes the historical evidence.

a matter of sound reason as
well as faith to affirm what
the early Church proclaimed: Jesus is risen. Featuring
