Corpus Christi

CORPUS CHRISTI explores the historical figure of Jesus through the story of the Passion. Dedicated documentary filmmakers G'rard Mordillat and J'rme Prieur called on the world's most renowned biblical scholars to lead this inquiry, which began with an examination of the Gospel According to St. John and proceeded through the 27 books of the New Testament. Word for word, phrase by phrase, verse by verse, these experts uncovered the enigma known as Jesus Christ. Hailed by critics and viewers as a series on French television, CORPUS CHRISTI offers the same rigorous research into the world's most treasured texts that was displayed in the filmmakers' earlier ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY. Whether approached from a religious or a secular point of view, CORPUS CHRISTI reveals the mystery and complexities of Jesus Christ and his role in Christianity as documented by the New Testament.
