The Bible was the first great book and now for the first time ever you can see it's reading from beginning to end, accompanied by images of the art that it inspired. The readers of 'The Bible in Vision' include the Bishop of London, Lord David Owen, the Bishop of Stepney, the Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Fairfax, Lord David Hunt, Rabbi Janet Darley, Sister Wendy the Reverend Nicky Gumbel, writers Howard Jacobson, Amos Oz, Sara Maitland and actors John Kaye Steel and Chloe Davis . The Gospel of Matthew tells the inspiring story of Jesus' birth, his ministry, his 'trial' before Pontius Pilate and the agony of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. This gospel inspired one of the finest Biblical films ever made, Pasolini's 'The Gospel According to St Matthew', which did not use actors but oedinary Italians.
