Banned From The Bible

This is a great series and should be included in any Bible study program. I have so many friends and relatives who profess to be "good Christians" and can quote you chapter and verse from the Bible, yet they have absolutely no knowledge of the history of their religion or any understanding of how the Bible came to be. Learning the historical facts in no way damages faith in one's beliefs. Toddlers and young children may be too young to understand, but "Banned From The Bible" is appropriate for anyone from middle-school age through adult years. Read more

If you have an open mind and not trapped in the organized religion way of believing then you will enjoy this documentary movie. Unfortunately, the Roman Catholic church during the 3rd century banned many books that wasn't canonized and not worthy of the Holy Bible. Some of those banned books are great and worth reading. Especially the book of Enoch which was canonized in the Ethiopian Bible. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is a must. The gnostics revered woman as equals to men. Mary Magdalene was an inspirational woman and disciple of Jesus. This documentary isn't about trying to separate you from believing in God and the moral message. It actually strengthened my beliefs in God and religion. Read more

This explores a lot of the books left out the final cut of the bible and the way people decided what was and what wasn't suitable to be cannon. And it does so in an interesting way while telling some of the lost stories from these books. I wish more people would watch this. Read more

I bought Banned from the Bible 1 & 11. I like them but there were areas where the background music was so loud I couldn't hear the narrator. It was so FRUSTRATING! And the narrator had a rather soft voice at times. Don't the producers of DVDs ever listen to their own product? Read more
