| Good BUT Be Cautious
From a production standpoint, it's hard to beat the A&E "Mysteries of the Bible" series: outstanding music, narration, cinematography, and geographic filming locales in the Holy Land. The rub comes in the content. The series, while attempting to be impartial, leans far too heavily to liberal theology. The show's writers are quick to point out arguments against the Bible's teachings, but without providing the counterpoint to those arguments with more conservative scholars. Every single liberal theologian's point can be easily countered by conservative theology or archeology. In fairness, this is sometimes given, but not very often. Is there value in the presentations? Yes. We hear the Bible accurately read by the actress Jean Simmons. Locations are usually accurately presented. Archeological finds supporting the Bible are not ignored. In summary, a little more balance in presentation of scholarly views would add more value here. Worth a look, but know the Bible.

Day the Earth Stood Still DVD (1951) 
Mysteries of the Bible - The Bible's Greatest Heroes film Beginning with a documentary style that immediately hooks the viewer, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, based on the Harry Bates short story "Farewell to the Master," becomes as much a human interest story as it does a sci-fi B-movie classic. The film soberly depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (Lock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by ignorant, panicky military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C., hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come 250 million miles to warn them about. Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience, Helen Benson (Patricia Neal), and her inquisitive son, Bobby (Billy Gray). Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message, and the government's witch hunt for the alien. Made during the cold war--when Americans were obsessed with the destructive capabilities of the atomic bomb--THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, thanks to its beautiful pacing, excellent dialogue, and haunting score by Bernard Herrmann, is still a treat for contemporary audiences.
The film soberly depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu, who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort, to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. Stars Stars Michael Rennie, Robert Osterloh, Lock Martin, Patricia Neal.
