From Snakes On A Plane To God On High

November 17, 2006 By S. K. Sloan 4 Comments

Just what is this story about? How about an epic telling of the life of one of the most allusive mystery men in human history — “Jesus.” There is a new audio feature available that boasts of a big headline cast, including one of the most sought after and versatile actors in the history of entertainment, Samuel L. Jackson.

And Sam isn’t settling on the number two spot in the series, now way! He will be the powerful voice of God. Very chilling when you remember the scripture-spouting hitman from Quentin Tarentino’s smash hit “Pulp Fiction.”

Those who track such things are saying that this 21-hour long series of “Jesus” has been at or near the Number One slot since its early fall release and is considered one of the fastest-selling audio Bibles since audiobooks first came on the scene.

The audio-book features the voice talents of more than 250 singers, clergy and actors, including Emmy and Academy Award winners such as Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Jr., Angela Bassett and Alfre Woodard. Blair Underwood portrays Jesus, and Samuel L. Jackson is the very voice of the Big Guy Itself.

For those who may get offended by what I say next, it may be time to stop reading this article now – you have been warned.

Regardless of where any might stand on the familiar stories found in the Jewish, Muslim and Christian Bibles, and nearly everyone has an opinion, it is one of the greatest stories ever told just from a purely fantastical, supernatural level, quite possibly one of the greatest ancient works of dramatic scifi ever written, right up there as an equal with Homer, the Upanishads and Sophacles.
