THE BIBLE - JOSEPH OF NAZARETH

Description

In this, the final story in the Close To Jesus series from the producers of The Bible Series, we follow the life story of Joseph of Nazareth, Mary's husband. With lives caught between the collision of the paranoid and evil King Herod and the dominant Roman Empire of Caesar Augustus, Joseph finds himself acting as father to his nephews until eventually he is called to higher things. The betrothal to Mary, the Visitation and Annunciation, the birth of Christ, the journey of the Three Wise Men, the flight to and exile in Egypt are all here in this dramatic telling of the family and lives of those closest to Jesus. The Bible - Close To Jesus series retells the stories of four of the closest people in Jesus' life - Mary Magdalene, Thomas the apostle, Jesus' father Joseph of Nazareth and Jesus' betrayer, Judas. These fascinating new dramas are a riveting and welcome addition to The Bible Series. Cert PG, 90 minutes approx
