Information
------------------------------
Follow actor Robert Powell on a journey across the Holy Land as he explores the life of the religious icon whose role he nailed 40 years ago. Robert Powell portrayed Jesus Christ in the Emmy-nominated 1977 miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth" and now, decades later, he takes a journey through modern Israel in an attempt to reconstruct the story of the man who changed history. Guided by the Gospels and the latest archaeological and historical research, Powell travels to Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. While there, he meets archaeologists and scholars who help him on his quest to learn more about Jesus. This limited series intersperses footage from the miniseries with Powell's current-day excursion to illustrate how the Holy Land has changed over the course of 40 years as the actor seeks clues to the real historical figure who inspired Christianity.
More than just a tale of history and archeology, Robert will be using his unique gifts as an actor to build a picture of the character of Jesus, speculating on this remarkable figure, while always being guided with the most rigorous contemporary academic research.
With the help of scholars and theologians, he will examine Jesus' s lost adolescent years, the start and growth of his ministry, and his death and believed resurrection, which would spark the birth of one of the largest religions on the planet.

4) The Final Days
Join us as we examine Jesus's final days, using Christian tradition and archaeology to separate the man from the myth.
The fourth installment, THE FINAL DAYS, chronicles the last moments of Jesus' life, following his entry into Jerusalem for the Jewish festival of Passover. Powell learns that Jesus' claim to be the messiah was what caused him to be sent before Pontius Pilate, and Powell gets a chance to stand on the exact steps from where Pilate would have sent Jesus to be crucified. After meeting with professors to demonstrate how different the reality of crucifixion would have been from the traditional depictions, Powell returns to Jerusalem one final time to explore a traditional tomb and discover how the apostles' belief in the resurrection of Jesus - as described in all four gospels - would become be the catalyst for a new religion: Christianity.
