The Journey video series, available for free viewing or download from this site, uses – because of their authentic portrayals – many stills from the LUMO films for Jesus and the Gospel narratives. Justin Taylor, on the Gospel Coalition website, writes: “I am a big fan of the Lumo Project, which is seeking-for the first time-to film all four Gospels as feature films, using only the unabridged biblical text as their script.” Read his review HERE. Anyone, anywhere in the world can fully experience their translation of Scripture overlaying the stunningly visual representations of the life of Christ set against the backdrop of an authentic rendition of first century Palestine during Jesus’ time.” LUMO tells us “LUMO revolutionizes the way we experience and understand the historical Jesus. Rasalingam’s ethnicity is partly Tamil, and he looks more like the reconstructed image developed by this team of scientists and archaeologists than the typical Westernised depiction that we’re familiar with. In the LUMO films, Jesus is played by the British actor Selva Rasalingam. The image is quite different from the Western face we typically see depicted today. In the December 2002 issue of Popular Mechanics, an article by Mike Fillon, entitled The Real Face of Jesus, described how scientists and archaeologists used forensic anthropology to reconstruct what a first-century Galilean man might have looked like. This adds a further level of authenticity to the videos. Thirdly, and uniquely, the actors look the part of first-century Palestinian people.The LUMO Project used CGI to reconstruct the city of Jerusalem from a difference. Secondly, the scenery was shot on location in Morocco, and is faithful to the first-century Palestinian world of the Gospels.The film is currently available in 20 languages – Afrikaans, Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Dutch, English, German, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese. There are also versions available in other languages. John’s Gospel is available in the New International Version and the King James Versions of the Bible the other Gospels are available in the NIV only. But their dialogue is muted, and overlaid with voice-over narration using the unabridged Biblical text as script. The actors in the film speak Aramaic, as it was spoken in Jesus’ time. Firstly, the voice-over is a narration of the Bible text – nothing is added, and nothing is removed.These videos have three key features that, together, contribute to these films’ stunning level of authenticity. The LUMO Project has produced a series of videos of the four Gospels, one for each Gospel.
