Based on a new interpretation of contemporary historical events in Rome, Last Days of Jesus peels back thousands of years of tradition, to explore how dramatic political events in Rome could have played a crucial role in shaping Jesus' destiny, and to examine an extraordinary political alliance that altered the course of history.
The Last Days of Jesus For almost two thousand years, the story of Jesus' final days has been celebrated by Christians the world over. From Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, through to his eventual crucifixion six days later, the key moments have been immortalized in countless films, pieces of music, and works of art.
But in recent years, some historians have begun to question inconsistencies in the Gospels' version of events. They believe that the Gospels could hide a very different story; one that casts the historical Jesus in an entirely new light. Based on a new interpretation of contemporary historical events in Rome, Last Days of Jesus peels back thousands of years of tradition, to explore a new political context to the events in Jerusalem.
Last Days of Jesus explores how dramatic political events in Rome could have played a crucial role in shaping Jesus' destiny, and examines an extraordinary political alliance that altered the course of history.

VIDEO USAGE RIGHTS
Why the AV version? Because it provides additional usage options for PBS videos. AV versions come with limited performance rights so they can be shown in classrooms, at PTA meetings, during after school programs, and transmitted on a closed-circuit system within a building or on a single campus. They also can be enjoyed in admission-free public screenings, which also makes them ideal for use by library patrons and businesses involved in community clubs and organizations.
