🎬 The Gospel of John (2003) – Word for Word, Life for Life

“In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God.”

Review:

The Gospel of John (2003) is a cinematic retelling of the fourth Gospel, presented with extraordinary reverence, clarity, and devotion. Narrated word-for-word from the Good News Bible (Today’s English Version), this film brings Scripture to life with historical authenticity and spiritual depth.

Directed by Philip Saville, the film stars Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus — a calm, compassionate, yet resolute portrayal that draws viewers into the divine mystery of Christ’s life, miracles, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice. Christopher Plummer’s narration adds poetic gravitas, anchoring each scene in sacred text.

Unlike other dramatizations, this film remains strictly faithful to the biblical text, making it a powerful tool for both reflection and study. It avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on the quiet strength of the Gospel’s message: love, truth, and eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Visually rich and spiritually stirring, The Gospel of John is not just a movie — it’s a meditative experience. For believers, it’s Scripture in motion. For seekers, it’s an invitation to encounter the Living Word.
