There are a few historical blunders, the most egregious being the pronouncement of one “expert” that Jesus was “illiterate.” There is also some silliness–Mr. Jennings sticking a microphone in the face of tourists in St. Peter’s Squarein Rome to ask what they know about St. Paul (answer: not much)–and occasional flippancy. Paul’s letters, opine several scholars, cannot be authoritative today because he thought the world would soon end.

But this is a show for serious-minded viewers, scholarly yet respectful of belief, informative yet entertaining. It tells the story of Jesus and Paul in language believers and critics alike can recognize–indeed not too differently from the way it has been told for centuries.
