Comments about this product:

Outdated information: "John was NOT "the beloved disciple," it was Mary Magdeleine, the "apostle to the apostles;" no discussion of Jesus' circle of women, which was extensive.
Peter was not the first leader of the early (Jerusalem) church, it was James, Jesus' brother; Thomas was a major missionary in India and is buried there; Thomas was the disciple who said he would join Jesus to his death in Jerusalem, a fact lost in the "doubting Thomas" myth. Judas portrayed as a "bad guy," instead of the only one willing to do his Master's will, even if it bothered him greatly. Too much Roman Catholic Church bias, little attention paid to recent discoveries like Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadhi library, codices from St Mark's Monastery; modern archeological discoveries; extensive tradition outside the orthodox view largely ignored. This video is more Church propaganda than history.
