Orlando, Florida, January 19, 2004 -- From Sola Scriptura, a non-profit ministry devoted to affirming the authenticity, accuracy, and authority of God’s Word – the Bible, comes a refreshingly simple yet compelling new DVD. ACCORDING TO JOHN is a 70-minute, striking portrayal of twenty stories taken directly from the Gospel of John, presented word-for-word in true theatrical form by actor Marquis Laughlin.
Unlike most “biblical” films, which are produced against the backdrop of exotic locations, period costumes, and special effects, ACCORDING TO JOHN draws its strength from the very words of the Bible itself, subtly giving evidence of the fact that the timeless truths of Scripture need no such embellishments. Set on a simple, stage, painted only with shades of light, Mr. Laughlin delivers every line with conviction, empathy, and power. The viewer cannot help but be completely absorbed and moved by the Scripture presented in the oral tradition.
The feature itself is plenty to enrich the heart and mind, but the DVD also comes with a study guide that provides questions and discussion that is perfect for Sunday School or small group use. Twenty-three commentaries from expert Bible teachers delve into some difficult passages, bringing to light key historical, theological, and practical details of the narrative. A full-length audio commentary provides further such insight, and five behind-the-scenes featurettes offer an intriguing look at the philosophy behind the entire production – the sufficiency of Scripture.
ACCORDING TO JOHN is a call back to the Word itself; a spiritual experience offering blessings often missed in today’s rush-about world of media overload. Sit back, relax, and take it in. You’ll be surprised at what God has to say to you.
