First released in the USA/Canada in 1995, The Gospel According to Matthew was a pioneering vision, breaking new ground in Jesus films, the script being entirely word-for-word from the book of Matthew, not even one syllable added or removed.
Watch Bruce Marchiano’s powerful portrayal of Jesus, as he displays the full emotions of Jesus in a way that is sure to move your spirit. Both Marchiano and director, Regardt Van den Bergh felt to portray Jesus as a “Man of Joy” as opposed to traditional representations of Jesus as aloof and emotionless. This, along with presenting Jesus in a human authenticity and with deep, personal love for people, has caused a revolution in perceptions of Jesus, not to mention countless lives changed.
The Special 15th Anniversary Edition The Gospel According to Matthew DVD also includes the 2 CD audio book, In the Footsteps of Jesus: One Man's Journey by Bruce Marchiano. The first professing Christian to portray Jesus in a major motion picture, Bruce Marchiano takes readers on an intimate adventure into the life of Christ. "Jesus' love is truly a stunning thing,” Bruce says, describing his realization that Jesus is a "man of joy,” full of energy, excitement, wonder, passion, and vibrancy. Readers will discover that He is still the same today as Bruce relates his dynamic quest to understand and communicate the life-changing truth of God's love.
