One of the most magnificent mini-series ever created, the life of Jesus is majestically and movingly portrayed in Franco Zeffirelli’s Jesus of Nazareth, an unforgettable portrait of the life of Jesus. Because director Franco Zeffirelli noted publicly that he intended to depict Jesus Christ as a human being rather than a religious icon, his expensive made-for-TV miniseries Jesus of Nazareth fell victim to protestors long before its April 3, 1977, debut.
