Dallas Jenkins’ crowd-funded series follows Jesus of Nazareth and the men and women whose lives he upends — fishermen, a tax collector, a woman at a well. It is intimate rather than pageant-like: meals, jokes, doubt, and the slow recognition that something irreversible has entered ordinary life. Families who have never sat through a “Bible movie” often finish an episode wanting the next one. PureRated editors recommend starting at season one, episode one, together.
