Interesting that some of you are criticizing the Chosen and haven't even seen it. I can tell you without reservation that is the finest film about the life of Jesus I have ever seen. You must see the introductions and interviews with Dallas Jenkins the director/producer so you can understand the approach he took to make this film. He will tell you that the scriptures are the scriptures and this film cannot replace them and that the events in the film are true to the bible. Although the back stories take some artistic leeway they are plausible based on historical fact. Don't condemn this production until you see it. View it with an open mind. It is changing hearts and minds all over the world. Name one other event in recent memory that has had that impact on Christians and non-Christians. Also it is completely free to watch.
