Latestby Dallas Willard & John Ortberg
Do you know the real story behind the New Testament? We all share a fascination for discovering ‘the rest of the story.’ Through reading the New Testament we discover that God indeed keeps his promises, but those promises don’t always look like what people expected. Especially when it comes to Jesus. Join well-known Bible scholars N.T. Wright and Michael F. Bird as they team up to take you on a tour of the explosive story behind the story of the New Testament.
Writing
Wright and Bird's banter makes dense history actually addictive
Production
On-location Roman Empire footage hits different than Sunday school
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
N.T. Wright has published over 80 books and was once called 'the most prolific biblical scholar in history'—Bird keeps him surprisingly humble here.
This series emerged from the 'New Perspective on Paul' academic earthquake that scandalized 1990s seminaries; Wright was ground zero. The calm delivery hides decades of scholarly warfare.

1080p or 4k Blu-ray? Something as beautiful as this has got to be available in better than DVD. :(
