Had been looking for this film for some time. Was so pleased that you carried it. Watched it with our grandchildren and it was enjoyed by all. Gave a good understanding of life at the time of Jesus. Although there is no record of a 4th Magi, this film presents a good possibility of why. One of Martin Sheen's fine performances.

A great teaching tool! 4.00 out of 5

Describe Yourself: Confirmation Director; Movie Buff;

I use this DVD to illustrate our working definition of Christian Morality - "a growing awareness of the rights and needs of others and willingness to make decisions based on those rights and needs." Also used to answer an essay question on the take-home mid-term exam. Great resource!
