Bob Jones[edit]

Do we really need to include Bob Jones's comment when he states he didn't even watch the film? I wouldn't consider the opinion of a radical protestant, and anti-Catholic, school owner who never watched the film as significantly important on the controversy around it. Is that the only controversy?

Deletion[edit]

I APOLOGIZE FOR DELETING THE PICTURE OF ROBERT POWELL AS JESUS BUT I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR DELETING THE LIST OF WHAT JESUS OF NAZARETH IS RATED IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAT IS SOMETHING FOR IMDB AND THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THIS WAS NOT IMDB.

Bold text== ? ==

wow Shortly This is the best Film about Jesus life. Whether he existed or not. NOTHING will ever match these 4 parts of his life.

Page Layout[edit]

Transcendental air.

Does this mean that Robert Powell didn't blink and neither did H. B. Warner and Max von Sydow, or does it mean that Robert Powell didn't blink but that Warner and von Sydow did?

This sentence needs to be rewritten to avoid the ambiguity. Two possible suggestions would be Powell never blinks .... following the example of H. B. Warner....

or Powell never blinks... unlike H. B. Warner.

6:16[edit]

I've never seen this formulation and don't understand it. My best guess is that it means 6 hours and 16 minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.162.242 (talk) 05:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's what it means, although I think a simpler, more generic rendering would be an easier "six hours". Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 03:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Premiere Date 27th March 1977?[edit]

I dont think that the premiere date is correct. As I recall, this was a four part miniseries and the final part was shown on Easter Sunday which according to various sources was April 10th that year. This means that the premiere date was 20th March. Can anyone shed any light on this? cool —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.248.248.215 (talk) 23:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, neither date is correct. In the UK it was screened in two parts: from 6:15-9:15pm on April 3rd 1977 and from 6:15-9:30pm on April 10th, Easter Sunday. 94.195.175.6 (talk) 21:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is the premiere date in Italy. The first original showing must be considered that of Italy, not that of Britain or the US. In Italy it was shown in 5 weekly episodes from March 27 to April 24.

Powell blinking[edit]

It is not true that Powell blinks only once. He blinks very rarely but yet he does it at least several times (I just watched some fragments of the film). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.174.95.224 (talk) 09:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Summary[edit]

The plot summary says, "The familiar Christian episodes are presented chronologically," followed by an ordering of events which differs from the order in which these events actually are depicted in the miniseries.

For example, the plot summary says, "the Raising of Lazarus (John 11:43); the Feeding of the Five Thousand," but these events are neither consecutive nor in that order. Actually, the feeding of the five thousand, which is in episode 2, is numerous scenes before the raising of Lazarus, which is in episode 3. And the plot summary says, "the Baptism of Jesus; the woman caught in adultery," but these events are not consecutive, rather they are separated by several hours of film. Jesus was baptized in episode 1, and the scene in which Jesus stops the mob from stoning the adulteress is in episode 3.

There might be additional errors. These are the two glaring ones which jumped out at me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.171.55.138 (talk) 16:04, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You make valid points, so if you'd like to make corrections, go ahead. --Musdan77 (talk) 04:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
