The CD-ROM divides the stories of the Gospel into 12 scenes, which are easily navigated from the home page. Each scene contains four features: an animation, a commentary that paraphrases the story, an explanation of its historical context, and the biblical text of the scene. You can move quickly to related scenes or further background information. One especially interesting feature is the Synopsis, which allows you to see all four Gospels at once for any given scene.
Along with the 12 scenes, there is a Discovery button that allows you to click on the sayings of Christ or on symbols, such as a loaf of bread. This leads you to the relevant passages in the Gospels. A similar feature is called Actors, which allows you to search for a relationship between two separate terms, such as "John the Baptist" and "Galilee." The use of these features is not immediately obvious onscreen, but it is clearly explained on the disc jacket.
This scene-by-scene exploration of the Gospels will not interest everyone, and there are a handful of spelling errors that detract from its overall appearance. The European interpretation may appeal most to Catholics and those interested in the cultural history of Western Christianity. It might make a perfect Confirmation gift. --Matthew Kohut

Customer Reviews of Jesus: Gospels & Paintings
A great gift for Christian art lovers The editorial reviews have given us a good idea of this CD-Rom. So I'll just add a brief review. You can always expect a high standard of production from Montparnasse Multimedia though the design and navigation of this one is not as smooth, informative and interesting as the more recent "Musee d'Orsay" or "The Hermitage Museum". The analysis of the paintings and commentaries are too brief and not too enlightening.
The basic "12 scenes" are: The Annunciation, Birth of Jesus, Baptism of Jesus, Disciples are called, Wedding at Cana, Sermon on the Mount, Resurrection of Lazarus, Transfiguration, Entrance to Jerusalem, Jesus before Pilate, Death of Jesus and Road to Emmaus. For Christian art lovers, this CD will be a great tool for enjoyment and contemplation.
Very well done
This CD-ROM is easy to install,simple to operate,and lovely to look at and listen to. The producers{MONTPARNASSE MULTIMEDIA} have doen a very commendable job with this. Each of 12 scenes gives biblical narration,paintings,commentary,related scens{which all together are close to 100}textual comparisons,analysis, and discovery,which enables you to explaore the various parts or symbols of each scene{for Lazaraus,for examole,Martha and Mary can be reserached,with reaLTED scenes] For a CDROM neophyte{as I am},this is an excellent introduction. Not a bad way to intrduce children to Jesus in art and word, either. Very nicely done
