Great film. Production and filming was top notch - the director deserves recognition for a quality film. Impressive also was the line-up of top published scolars interviewed in the film, including heavy weights Dan Wallace and Michael Heiser. Craig Evans does most of the talking in the film which is good, as his style came across as both scholarly and trustworthy. But you might say the real stars were the fragments and ancient manuscripts that are filmed up close and personal. It made me wish I was young again with an opportunity to study ancient languages and the field of NT Criticism. But in the end, we have this film maker and these scholars, as well as those that went on before them, to thank for providing this witness to the Holy Scriptures we have in our hands today.

One cannot come away without many concepts to consider. Very well done. If only the many, many untouched “volumes” could be dealt with.

1. Great if you're interested in learning about where the New Testament came from. 2. Not a good idea if you have little background in Roman and Greek history from the life of Christ to Constantine. You'll want to know places and terms like Alexandria, Antioch, bishops. 2. Sometimes the dialogues got a bit long and though they worked hard to bring the arguments down to a lay-men level, there were a couple that they failed in their attempt. 3. I'm a bit nit picky here but Constantine did not make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. That was Theodosius.

Who knew? Many ancient text were used for well over a hundred years! This was due to the material from which they were made and due to the reverence with which they were treated. We’re not taking our paper made from wood pulp but rather papyrus.

The leap at the end, that it is intact as it was written, does not take into account what the Catholic patriarch did to the books explaining the mysteries. It was stated that the books of the New Testiment were the ones everyone agreed upon. That lacks deeper consciousness and perspective of the patriarch that limits us to this day. Some of the earlier books were written by women.

Glad info like this is being put out there but it was mostly the same info already presented. It seemed like a half hearted attempt from Baptist seminarians rather than theologians, Bible scholars, or archeologists...The experts didnt seem very knowledgeable and so werent very informative. The quality of info I received from Case for Christ, though different topic, was much better, because of the rigorous research from experts.

Very well done, but would have been great if some mention of Catholicism and the disparity between the Catholic and non-Catholic Bibles (i.e 73 vs. 63 books)

This is stuff that every Christian should know. These are foundational blocks for our faith. The Bible is the very essence of our faith and we should be able to know and relay to others why we trust the Bible.
