An inspiring and imaginative spiritual journey, GREAT FIGURES OF THE BIBLE: Legends and Legacies of Our Biblical Heroes is compelling viewing for audiences of all faiths. Program 1: ADAM AND EVE AND AFTER - The Story of Temptation: Their world was a Paradise -so why did Adam and Eve give in to temptation? The answers are complex, the after-math, earthshaking. Is temptation something that should - or can - be controlled? Program 2: THE STORY OF CAIN AND ABEL - The First Murder: Jealousy reared its head early in Biblical history and the first reference to death in the Bible is a story of murder. Today, the tragedy of Cain slaying his brother Abel would be heralded in the headlines as further proof of the breakdown of moral values. Program 3: ABRAHAM AND THE BINDING OF ISAAC - About Fathers and Sons: The covenant between Abraham and God was based on trust. What better way for God to test it than through the sacrifice of an only son? Fathers and sons have honored and challenged each other ever since. Program 4: THE STORY OF JOB - Suffering and Sacrifice: Must we suffer just to prove ourselves in this world? Is a good heart infallible and can it really be trusted? The great debates in the Book of Job illuminate the power of trust and defiance. Program 5: THE STORY OF MOSES - The Agony of Power: This leader, lawgiver, and prophet bore the awesome burden of forging a nation. Moses’ emotional nature made him a charismatic leader but denied him the fruits of his labor. Program 6: THE STORY OF DAVID - Greatness and Passion: This great king secured his place in history beginning with the slaying of the giant Goliath. His psalms attest to his passions and struggles, and he remains a powerful role model today. DVD Special Features: Includes an educational version specially edited for academic use, features great works of art from 50 museums, filmed on location throughout the Holy Land, Biographies, in English with English menus, full screen. Dolby Surround Sound 2.0
