2. The Gospel of Luke: You can watch or listen to the biography of Jesus on-line in fifty-five languages, a feature film! This film is taken entirely from the Gospel of Luke in the Bible. The Jesus Film website also offers "Who is Jesus really?" including an interactive study, and "Historic Jesus." On the historic site you choose an event in Jesus' life, then click on Biblical references for that event (a chart) , historical and cultural information, character profile s with photos from the film, and seventeen maps.
