Released in 1983 by Barry Zoeller Productions
It’s two years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The church is growing and the high priest and Sadducees are worried. But what if the events of that day occurred, not in the first century, but in 1983? Yes. 1983. This interesting drama portrays the events that followed the death and resurrection of Jesus as if they happened in modern times. Anxious government leaders see a new movement rising called “Christianity.” Fearing their hold on the people is being threatened, they set out to stop the followers of Jesus Christ. Their plan is simple. Prove that Jesus never rose from the dead, and you put an end to Christianity. So they put the resurrection on trial. You be the jury and examine the evidence. Hear the testimony of eyewitnesses. At the end of the film, you decide the verdict. Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
