I was not impressed with the first installments in this series. Ninja angels and a rock star Jesus were just too off base.
The trap of productions like this is that they often give up part of the story in order to make a point. The point can best be made by retelling the story in a rational and chronological order.
AD The Bible Continues seems to do just that.
My expectations were not that high. I expected a 6 or 7 out of 10 production. Instead it comes across as well staged, well acted, and well written.
This latest installment begins with the Passion and ends with Jesus' followers in panic and confusion with the exception of Mary Magdalene who gets it. It will be interesting how this progresses.
This is a nice reprieve from Killing Jesus. KJ could not have been worse if it had been sabotaged. It suffered from a lameness that would have taxed Jesus on a good day. The Dove Keepers is also crippled as it is a cleaned up story set in a Disney set inhabited by people with nice clothes and characterized with rock star insurrectionists. It isn't as bad as Killing Jesus for no other reason that KJ is as bad as it gets.
