jimjamjonny39 When attending school or church as a child I read extracts from the bible and found some of the stories to be really interesting. However I felt that religion was forced on me which consequently turned me away. Maybe as I've aged and choose to watch these biblical tales because they bring me hope of a better afterlife as I don't believe that we will ever love our neighbours as ourselves. Also, we're all doubting Thomas's, if we we never saw what others saw then we start to believe we're having our leg pulled. This is one of the most powerful stories ever told and if you ever get the chance to watch it, do so, it may make you think how you conduct yourself - even if it's only whilst you're watching it.

simbachitsiku deeply disappointed by the script. Most of the stuff did not happen like that in that order. although the costumes are good. the actors and actresses have British accents, and i am bothered they did not look for people who live in that area like Israelis. true Christians know the real stories in the bible. this is just a profit making series rather than a Truth speaking truth. do not twist the word of God. come on this is a holy book, and we cant play with stuff like this. this is not a biography that you can dramatize as you wish. we can assume some people don't read bibles and they can get lost and assume that some of the dramatic stuff happened.

Jock Lindholm Since when was any of the apostles colored? and Mary Magdalene was colored? This was in Judea, the apostles was Jews, the likelihood of anyone of them being colored is somewhere along the line of me being a pope. I am tired of politically correct movies, if yours going to make a movie or miniseries or whatever based on the lives of Jesus Christ or the gospel, then for the love of GOD, don't mix in PC crap into it.Next you will see a Mohammed thats Japanese. Or perhaps Buddha thats white.This series is so filled with inaccuracies that I was disgusted after the first 30 minutes and quit watching. do not waste your time with this.

Kathy Johnson I watched all 12 episodes of this mini-series and will give my review in good things/bad things format. I know that some people were put off by the fact that the cast was deliberately chosen to show diversity. That didn't bother me. I think that 'diversity' was the least of problems with this mini-series. The good: The sets were wonderful, the costuming was wonderful, the actors were good. The bad: At best, the events that were featured in this mini-series were only very **loosely** based on the Book of Acts. The only part of the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr that was accurately portrayed was the actual stoning. Stephen did not go into the Temple to confront the High Priest and Sanhedrin. There was a plot against Stephen and he was dragged before the Sanhedrin and falsely accused of blasphemy. To make matters worse, Stephen's speech in defense of the false charges is left out completely. Many other events are inaccurate: - The story of Simon the magician, - The whole story of the Ethiopian treasurer colluding with the Zealots to overthrow Rome? Where did that come from? - One of the Apostles colludes with the Zealots as well. Really? Where can I find that story in the Book of Acts? - Paul being lied to by the other Apostles and being 'sent away' so he wouldn't cause trouble for them with the Jews. - The story of the resurrection of Tabitha. - The 'conversion' of Cornelius the Centurion. The Book of Acts describes Cornelius thusly: "At Casesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was know as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly." The centurion "Cornelius" in AD, The Bible Continues, is nothing like this. He is a soldier who follows orders and thinks nothing of executing anyone at Pilate's whim. AD, The Bible Continues goes off the rails early on and becomes more of a fictionalized story of Pilate and his wife Claudia than a story of the early Christians. It is entertaining and nice to look at, but sadly lacking in Biblical truth.
