From coast to coast, from truck driver and clown to actress and noted author, from Buddhist to born-again Christian, Americans read the words of Jesus Christ as quoted in the Bible in this unusual two-video set. Adapted from the book of the same name, Norris J. Chumley's documentary begins with an interview of the book's author, Stephen Mitchell, and then launches into Chumley's cross-country tour, featuring a variety of people in many faiths reading excepts from the Gospels in chronological order. While some celebrities, such as Susan Sarandon, Judy Collins, and Maya Angelou, are featured, the bulk of the recitations are performed by ordinary Americans doing what they do: sewing, harvesting corn, often while reading passages. "Part Two: What Does it Mean?" divides the passages from the first tape into subject matter ("Healing," "The Prodigal Son," and such) and lets both the reciters from the first tape and additional experts (such as priests, rabbis, and professors) weigh in on what Jesus meant by them. The second tape also features a serious discussion on the merits and pitfalls of reinterpreting the Bible. Both tapes time in at 67 minutes and make for a surprisingly moving, as well as intellectual, experience. --Kimberly Heinrichs
