03/30/2004: "Bag the Bible–CNN has the real scoop on Jesus"
An upcoming one-hour CNN documentary on Jesus, called "The Mystery of Jesus," has the Network of Record breathless with excitement:
Narrated by critically acclaimed actor Liam Neeson, the one-hour documentary explores the historical aspects of the life of Jesus and delves into why so many mysteries exist about his life.
"Tying together historical evidence, religious works and forensic data, this documentary gives us a fresh glimpse into the history of a man whose life and death has been greatly deliberated upon throughout the ages," says Rena Golden, senior vice president of CNN International.
"CNN Productions has done a brilliant job in unveiling many long-standing mysteries surrounding Jesus."
Thank God for CNN. I don't know what we'd do without Ted Turner's super-sleuths on the trail of this long-standing Mystery. I mean, that dang Bible thing is full of holes, and the Vatican has been covering up The Truth (which is, after all, Mysterious) for so long you couldn't pry it out of them for a lock of the Virgin Mary's hair. I appreciate Ms. Golden letting us know her colleagues have "done a brilliant job" (otherwise we'd just be Mysterified at their chutzpah). And I'm especially happy to know that they'll be "unveiling many long-standing mysteries surrounding Jesus"–personally, I'm hoping they'll tell us whether He really did go to Tibet and study with Yoda so He could learn all that martial arts stuff and star in The Matrix. That would be a Mystery worth investigating.
