Who is Jesus, and why does he impact all he meets? He is respected and reviled, emulated and accused, beloved, betrayed, and finally crucified. Yet that terrible fate would not be the end of the story.

With enough narrative depth to anchor the expected spectacle, King of Kings is a true blessing for fans of Biblical epics.
