"It is a work of art...I hope you see this beautiful documentary." —Lucie Blodgett, The Voice-Tribune ( Full article )
"Not since “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” have the worlds of archeology and religion collided so." —Shawn Hudson, LEO Weekly
"...a detective story about efforts to locate the site of the most famous baptism of all: that of Jesus himself by John the Baptist." —Peter Smith, Courier-Journal Newspaper ( Full article )
'"A moving, hope-filled testament for our times as
representatives of Islam, Christianity and Judaism unite in
discovering this once lost and most sacred site. Brilliantly
conceived, beautifully executed.'"
"This is a stupendous film - important - life changing really." —Sally V.W. Campbell “The Baptism of Jesus Christ: Uncovering
Bethany Beyond the Jordan” is a beautiful film that will speak to
pilgrims of all faiths. By chronicling the rediscovery of the
outward and visible site of Christ’s baptism, it invites viewers to
open their hearts to the deeper possibility of being reawakened, on
an inward and spiritual level, to the transforming power of the
benevolent Source of all that is in each moment of their lives.
"This documentary led viewers on a vivid historical,
archaeological, and theological exploration into the excavation of
the long-lost site of Jesus of Nazareth's baptism at the River
Jordan. The film not only elegantly braided together the festival's
themes of Birth, Water, and Creation, but literally graced the whole
day with the grace of those blessed landscapes and the communities
therein (which were rendered beautifully with live footage
portraits). This is a thorough telling of an amazing--and remarkably
unknown--story. It surveys an impressive and informative array of
orthodox voices and perspectives--illustrating the diversity of
reverence across the world for Jesus Christ and the pivotal moment
of his baptism...and all with a narrative suspense. —Garrett Graddy, Director, Appalachian Festival of Faiths

Jesus baptized? Why was the site lost? How was it discovered? What

Baptism of Jesus Christ."
