Following last year’s The Gospel of John comes the second installment in the renowned Gospel film series, The Gospel of Mark.
Just in time for Easter, the second book of The New Testament comes to life for the first time with a truly unique, word-for-word adaptation that uses the Gospel narrative as its script. Shot on location in Morocco with consultation from expert theologians and biblical scholars and produced by the Lumo Project, the film was given the Dove Faith Friendly Seal for 12+. The Gospel of Mark DVD is packed with behind-the-scenes bonus features and will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.98.
According to The Gospel of Mark, Jesus is a heroic man of action, an exorcist, healer, and miracle worker — the Son of God who keeps his identity secret. This critically acclaimed, epic production — five years in the making — is based on the latest theological, historical, and archaeological research, and offers an unforgettable, highly authentic telling of the Jesus story — ending with the empty tomb, a promise to meet again in Galilee, and Jesus’s instructions to spread the good news of the resurrection.

I have not heard of the Lumo Project before. This looks like a wonderful movie though and I’d enjoy watching it with my family.
Amy Tolley says

Debbie Welchert says
I have never heard of the Lumo Project before this. However, I did watch the clip above and the more I watched it the more I wanted to see this film. It sounds like they went by the bible and didn’t add anything that was unnecessary to film. Hopefully, it is a true story of the Gospel of Mark….
Christina Sparks says
No, I have not heard of the project before. I enjoy all four Gospels.
