Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Secular, skeptical, and at times blasphemous; poor overall
While several of the videos were fairly well done, overall the "mysteries of the Bible" always seemed to be...did it ever really happen? or did it really happen the way the Bible says? To me it seemed to have an overall aura of attempting to discredit what the Bible says, not trying to find evidence to support it.
In particular, "the lost years of Jesus" went over the top suggesting Jesus became a student of Buddha and His ministry was influenced by Buddhist philosophy. A few other videos were entertaining, but no new information was given, and I really learned nothing that I didn't already know from the Bible or other historical sources.
Rating:  - Mysteries of the Bible
I found this series to be very informative, well produced and thought-provoking. Enjoy it very much.
Rating: - Good series
I always enjoyed watching this when it aired on TV. It gives fresh perspective on the Bible stories we all loved and wanted to know more about. They go as in depth as you could expect for an hour long show. Well worth the purchase price.
Rating: - Mesmerizing and Addicting
I own the boxed set of this collection. Even though I was an avid fan of the show, I still re-watch the DVD episodes with rapt attention. Unlike many religious themed films, this series does not promote a specific point of view. Viewers of all faiths and denominations will find that it deepens and enriches their understanding and appreciation for the spiritual lessons of the Bible. Each episode is well-rounded, beautifully photographed and a complete delight to watch.
The Mysteries of the Bible series weaves questions about the Biblical figures, culture and spiritual meaning into a visual and intellectual feast. It combines actual footage of locations in the Bible with amazing religious art, captivating narration and answers from archeology and a spectrum of Biblical scholars. It's a formula that mesmerized fans for years. Who would have thought that a show like this would so captivate the non-scholars among us?
This series succeeded for so long because it recognized that readers of the world's most popular book want to know and understand more about the culture, context and deeper meanings of the Bible. You won't regret purchasing any of the episodes or DVD's. This series represents the best of the best.
Rating:  - Astonishing Theories
I want to limit my comments to a review of Vol. 3 - King David: Poet Warrior. Since the middle of the 19th century skeptics have attacked the historical veracity of the Bible (both the Hebrew & Christian Scriptures). Since that time one new-found archaeological discovery after another has negated each of these objections (from the existence of the Hittites to King David to the use of nails in Roman crucifixion to affix people to crosses). Not content with the biblical accounts of these now historical figures this video series seeks to deconstruct them by projecting on them present-day academic political and philosophical "theories behind the legendary figures and fabled stories of the Bible." If this one part of series utilizes this approach it is likely it is shared with the rest of the series. "Twenty-two full-length programs from the acclaimed A&E series MYSTERIES OF THE BIBLE are featured in this collection providing a wealth of astonishing discoveries and unforgettable revelations." Unfortunately, the only "unforgettable" aspect of this series is that it is long on theory and short on facts.
