Viewers go from ancient Rome to 20th-century America in this in-depth
search for the most beautiful representations of Jesus and his stories.
This unprecedented travelogue delivers close-up views of Roman
catacombs, Michelangelo’s haunting Pieta, Chartres Cathedral, and much
more. The riveting lesson in art history uses the latest digital and
motioncontrol technologies to reconstruct lost works and relocate
others in their original settings. This film traces the dramatically
different ways in which Jesus has been represented in art by people
throughout history and around the world. Narrated by Mel Gibson,
Ricardo Montalban, Bill Moyers, Patricia Neal and others, this is a
sweeping documentary of stunning beauty.
