The following is found in "Church leaders offer gift of Bible videos", Deseret News, Monday 5 December 2011, p. A11. Written by Sarah Jane Weaver:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hopes everyone will want to follow the footsteps of the Savior through the stony paths of Galilee or the narrow streets of Jerusalem.
To make this possible, church leaders have created free Bible videos that are being made available to the public this holiday season on a new web site: Biblevideos.lds.org.
"They will be a free gift to all from the First Presidency," said President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency.
President Eyring announced the project on Sunday during the First Presidency Christmas Devotional.
The high-quality videos are based on the King James Version of the Bible and are faithful to the text, President Eyring explained.
The text of the scriptures and photos also accompany the video scenes.
The church produced the videos and has made them available to the public "solely for the purpose of ehlping more people understand and appreciate the matchless life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world," according to the website.
The church filmed 47 scenes this fall at its new Jerusalem movie set in Goshen, Utah County, and has plans to film more than 50 additional scenes next year.
"A free mobile app, which offers an interactive way to watch and read key accounts from the New Testament will also be available before Christmas."
