"The film has value in making more real the influence that Jesus had over the people of his time and of what it meant to a young man to "follow Jesus.' A number of passages from the Sermon on the Mount are quoted by Jesus, including the Beatiiudes. The use of the film will probably raise problems of 'faith healing.' People with various views will interpret this differently. If handled well In view of modern science, surgery, psychiatry and our limited understanding of spiritual powers available, it should have definite value. "The costumes, customs and scenery are excellent so that groups interested in dramatizing Biblical stories will find the film helpful. "If the picture is to be followed by study of costuming or by free discussion some Junior groups may find It helpful. It is especially suggested, however, for intermediates preparing for church meniberships and for other intermediate and all older groups." Int. journal of religious ed.

Costumes and settings are good, but the acting is unimaginative and the travel sequences so long drawn out that the story drags. The shepherds and Wise Men are portrayed as arriving at the stable simultaneously. All ages will find the film interesting, if not inspiring. May be used in church and church school to supplement study of the life of Christ." Int. journal of religious ed.

"Containing details not Included in the Bible story, the film may for that reason serve to add concreteness and an added sense of the reality of the experience to the woman and what It meant to her. The character of Jesus is effectively portrayed and the entire film well costumed and acted. The nature of the story Is such that it will have little meaning for younger children but will be of value to those of intermediate age and above in studies of tlie New Testament and the life and teachings of Jesus."
