| Synopsis: Shockingly little is
known, historically, about the trial and execution of Jesus. What actions
resulted in his death? Who was responsible for his trial and sentencing?
How did his ministry pass down through the ages? Why do most biblical
scholars insist that the gospel account can't be true? Through literary detective work, historical art imagery, and commentary from respected biblical scholars, we bring First-Century Judea to life--a land of messianic messengers in a time of revolution. Dr. Joan R. Branham, who along with Lawrence M. Wills, a professor at the Episcopal Divinity School, served as one of the documentary's scholarly consultants, notes that the documentary uses "both historical and faith-based documents to try to reconstruct what happened in that first century trial." The History Channel contacted Branham and her husband -- film producer Gary Glassman -- last November, when interest in Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ was building. According to Branham, the History Channel was looking for an "unimpeachable, scholarly account" of the trial and crucifixion of Christ. Glassman and another Boston-based filmmaker produced the documentary, while Branham helped shape and write the script. They worked with a team of producers and biblical scholars from Harvard Divinity School, Yale Divinity School and Boston University. |
