Some video resources posted by Neil MacQueen

(moved here from the "Look what I found!" resource topic.)


Life of Christ movie  (free)

Life of Christ - The Nativity
While searching for a video on the Beatitudes, I came across a large collection of free video clips from the Life of Christ series.  

The clips can be downloaded or viewed online. Each clip is from 2 to 4 minutes long. Live actors, good production values, and good scenery. The acting is good, though presented in a bit too "beatific" (overly reverential?) style. It is word-for-word from the KJV and the actors speak with an English accent (though it was filmed in Utah).

Having previewed several of the clips, this originally Mormon-produced resource appears to be as ecumenical as any produced by traditional Christian publishers. The clips are not branded as Mormon and do not include non-biblical remarks.  Their "about" section gives permission to download clips for personal and group use.

By the looks of it, they continue to make clips, and are adding many from the Letters. They are straight from scripture. There's a link at the bottom of the videos page to purchased the entire DVD. 


Son of God (2014)  ...free teacher's outline to the movie

The Son of God [video)
I gave my guide (updated in 2020) to Rotation.org's Supporting Member Resources here (along with many of my other Bible movie guides). This seven page PDF lists the highlights in each of the DVD's 36 scenes. It includes discussion questions for each scene and has a few notes  It also discusses what parts of Jesus' story are not found in the Son of God movie, but are found in The Bible (DVD, 2013) made by the same production company. Much of the Son of God is found in The Bible DVD, but some scenes are shorter, edited differently, or not included.  Neil



The New Superbook Animated Bible series

Superbook - David and Goliath
The Bible SuperBook video series has been completely re-made. All new 3D style animation and storytelling.

Sunday School teachers from the 80's and 90's will remember the SUPERBOOK video series produced by CBN. It's Japanese "anime" style was iconic, but its style of narration was a bit odd.

See the guide and links to previews.

This LINK  should take you to a preview of the David and Goliath video. If not, look at the link above or google superbook.

One can view Superbook videos online simply by setting up a free account with CBN (The Christian Broadcasting Network**). This allows you to preview or (with a reliable internet connection in your classroom) to show a video. (Flash is required to view videos.) Or, purchase videos on-line BUT expect to wait for their delivery! To order faster, call CBN Partner Assistance at 757-226-3320 - for a few extra dollars they will expedite a video.

**You may not be a fan of CBN (who owns the rights to the series), but the videos are good, particularly because they put kids into the story and have the asking questions and dealing with life application.
