Jesus walked this earth a long time ago and uttered things no other ever did before or since. His teachings have drawn more adherents than any other. But what about today in a specific post-modern world? Do his teachings make any sense and offer hope for the desperate problems of the world we live in now? This series, a co-production of BBC, England and Gateway Films/ Vision Video, USA, approaches these vitally important questions not by abstract theoretical arguments but by going to some of the most perplexing and challenging situations on our planet today. Here we peer through the lens of the personal experiences of men and women who have dared to attempt to live out the teachings of Christ, sometimes under the most hopeless of circumstances. Four specific dimensions of life which affect all of us at one level or another are explored. These are areas where the teachings of Jesus are clear and where they can be put to the test. They are Commitment, Inner Peace, Money and Forgiveness. Host Robert Beckford takes us around the world for what has to be one of history’s toughest tests. Here are stories that will help you think through these vital themes for yourself.
