Cathedral Films' THE LIVING CHRIST Series

THE LIVING CHRIST Series Production Trailer

Gospel Films Archive has uncovered this rare 11-min production trailer for Cathedral Films excellent twelve-part mini-series "The Living Christ." Pioneer Christian filmmaker Rev. James K. Friedrich and his talented team at Cathedral Films created this ambitious 12-part series of half-hour episodes for church and television audiences. Filmed in color between 1951 and 1957, the anthology dramatizes a true-to-scriptures account of the Life of Jesus Christ - His birth, boyhood, teachings and ministry, death and resurrection.

The series faithfully depicts all key characters and events in the life of the Son of God. Actor Robert Wilson's portrayal of Christ was highly regarded by film critics and audiences alike. Wilson portrayed the role again in both Cathedral's "I Beheld His Glory" (1953) and "Day of Triumph" (1954).

All 12 episodes of "The Living Christ" can be watched for free and with no ads at Christian Movie Classics.

Gospel Films Archive is working with Rev. James K. Friedrich's son to restore, reissue and preserve the entire Cathedral Films archive of shorts, docs and features films. You can read more about this project at the GFA WEBSITE.
