Discovery Channel's Miracles of Jesus To Release on DVD

Discovery Channel will be releasing the Miracles of Jesus, a TV special which aired on Christmas Eve featuring illusionist Brock Gill, as a DVD set that includes all three episodes of the special. The two and a half hour run time DVD’s will be available February 1.

Taking the role as the lead investigator for the Miracles of Jesus, Brock presents an objective look at the miracles of Jesus, which were claimed to have never happened or considered as illusions by critics for centuries.

Brock investigates whether they were illusions or reality, journeying throughout the Middle East and Holy Lands, as he ventures to find out: Can ancient miracles be re-created using 21st century technology?

Part of the program was shot on location in Malta at the Mediterranean Film Studios, sharing the space with Steven Spielberg as they worked on Munich.

The main actor who played Jesus in the Miracles of Jesus was George Calil, who may be best known for his role in Band of Brothers.

The special was advanced by literally thousands of media including the Associated Press, Associated Press Radio, Los Angeles Times, MSNBC.com, Today’s Magic News, and ChristianityToday.com. Brock even completed an interview with the “NPR of Austria,” ORF Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, among other national and international media outlets.

The show also received high marks from a prominent group of leaders, including international evangelist Luis Palau, author Mark Mittelberg, pastor Harry Reeder and apologist Craig Branch. LifeWay Church Resources also encouraged more than 13,000 affiliated student leaders to tune in to and promote the special.
