The "Messiah" Documentary

[Daniel Peterson]

Here's an announcement from the visibly dwindling Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, perhaps one of the last it will ever issue:

Messiah: Behold the Lamb of God, a documentary produced by the Neal A. Maxwell Institute, the College of Religious Education and BYU Broadcasting, will air on BYU Television. The series will be screened on BYU Television starting 10th January, 2010 at 8:00 pm. For the first time ever, teachings of the Restoration, sound academic views from faithful Latter-day Saint scholars, and state-of-the-art documentary production have been combined to produce this stimulating seven-part series on Jesus Christ, the Messiah. This documentary is the result of over 200 hours of interviews with LDS experts in their fields. Filming was done on site in Israel, Egypt, Denmark, and on a specially built stage at the LDS motion picture studio.

Additional information is available at Messiah.byu.edu. <http://Messiah.byu.edu>

A complete program schedule for Messiah: Behold the Lamb of God is available at http://www.byub.org/programaz/program.asp?id=1795.

**For more information on the documentary, tune in to Thinking Aloud at 11 am today, Friday, January 8th on Classical 89 (http://www.classical89.org/). This episode of Thinking Aloud will be rebroadcast at 8 pm tonight.**

Thanks Dan. I'm assuming you saw it in Dec....What's the format? Talking heads and vignettes?

Big UP!

I saw the preview, looking forward to the series, though not too sure on the computer graphics. I know several of the people, and it is my home so that will be fun.

What is your home: Denmark, Israel, Egypt, or the motion picture sound studio?

The caption under my photo should give you an idea.

Never tried living in a motion picture sound studio.

Pardon. Avatars tend to blend into the woodwork for me, and I don't always notice them.

Luckily I can go back to see the documentary within a month or so, when I have time ... on line... 5 am is a bit early for me... Mayas sleep at that time.

I should also note that the complete Messiah series should be available on DVD sometime around the end of February or the beginning of March. It will be marketed by Deseret Book.

Not to be confused with this Messiah Series, I'm sure...

Ah, so Deseret will make all the dough, while the dwindling Maxwell Institute continues to become more anemic and weak.....
