What The Visual Bible: Matthew Is About
The film was made on the claim of dramatising the Gospel of Matthew from beginning to end without changing a word; the text used is the New International Version. Set in Judea under the Roman Empire, it follows Jesus travelling with his disciples, his teaching and the events the text describes, in order. It runs beyond four hours, and functions less as an adaptation than as a direct reading. Regardt van den Bergh directed it and it was shot in South Africa. Richard Kiley narrates as an aged Matthew, and Bruce Marchiano plays Jesus with an interpretation that laughs often, unlike the usual solemn portrayals. That choice was both liked and argued over. The production was made as part of a series aiming to present scripture without adding interpretation.
