About this product: The History Channel's The Execution of Jesus takes a level, inquisitive approach to sorting out facts from assumptions about the final, heady days of Christ's life. The program asks a handful of biblical scholars if we should accept as truth events that followed popular Galilee prophet Jesus' provocative entry into Jerusalem, a center of power where he attacked the social order on a number of fronts, declared himself the Messiah, and was subsequently condemned and killed. One of the intriguing questions concerns how much of the gospels--written long after Christ's life--are acts of artistic license. Other historians wonder what it was, exactly, that Christ did to so rile Jerusalem's leaders they engineered his elaborate sufferings and crucifixion. This interesting documentary doesn't shed any new light, but it provides some tantalizing details (the discovery of the possible burial place of Jewish high priest Caiaphas) and alternative views of the Resurrection. --Tom Keogh
About this product: Taped on September 6, 1980This show suffers from comparison with ["How Does One Find Faith?" #S432], but by any other standard it is a wonderful exploration of modern man and his discontents--starting with the fact that Muggeridge, although a leading Christian apologist, was unchurched. Muggeridge: "I've, believe it or not, longed to be a Catholic. . . . I've longed for it as though it were the most marvelous thing. . . .The truth is, I think, that I take a very pessimistic view of the Catholic Church, despite the very brilliant pope you've now got. It seems to me that it's dropping to pieces, and of course it had a severe blow after the Vatican Council. Therefore, I would be joining something of which I was enormously critical, and this isn't really an honorable thing to do." Buckley: "That's never bothered you before." Muggeridge: "I've never contemplated anything so serious as joining a church. I mean, even if you were to turn to mundane things--joining a club--if you were to join it quite confident that you were going to challenge all its rules and have rows with all its members, it would be rather a foolish step to take." Buckley: "Well, I'm, to put it lightly, stupefied that you would make a decision whether or not to extend your loyalty to an institution based on the behavior of some of its communicants. I can't imagine any time in history when anybody would have become a Catholic if he had been so easily put off." (Muggeridge and his wife, Kitty, eventually submitted to Rome, in 1984.)
