This is the second of three tapes in a three-volume documentary set produced by the renowned BBC and originally televised on The Discovery Channel as a three-hour special on Easter Sunday 2001. Producer Jean-Claude Bragard doesn't deal with the ministry of Jesus Christ theologically, rather approaches it by creating the ancient sociological context that is known through archaeological, historical, and academic discoveries and theories. Anchored in Christian faith, a significant portion of the series focuses on convincing viewers that there is scientific evidence that Christ was an actual historical figure, not simply a legend.
