THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
A momentous undertaking involving a creative constituency of
award-winning artists and esteemed academic and theological consultants from
around the world, Visual Bible's THE GOSPEL OF JOHN is an ambitious motion
picture that has been adapted for the screen on a word-for-word basis from the
American Bible Society's Good News Translation Bible.
The story of Jesus' life as recounted by His disciple John, this three-hour
epic feature film draws its audience into antiquity by way of meticulous
recreation, including an original musical score complete with instrumental
sounds of the time. This ambitious motion picture follows the Gospel precisely,
neither adding to the story from other Gospels, nor omitting complex passages.
Narrated by renowned Canadian actor Christopher Plummer with a distinguished
cast from Canada and the United Kingdom selected primarily from Canada's prestigious
Stratford Festival and Soulpepper Theatre Company, as well as Britain's Royal
Shakespeare Company and Royal National Theatre, it features British actor Henry
Ian Cusick in the seminal role of Jesus Christ.
John is the best-loved but least understood of the gospels, presenting a
uniquely human portrait of Jesus. Intimate and reflective, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
provides audiences with an unparalleled opportunity to understand the
tumultuous period in history at the time of Jesus Christ.
