Dateline

Dateline: Troy
$8.99
Paul Fleischman offers a glimpse at the Trojan War through modern day newspaper headlines. By equating such events as Agamemnon offering sacrifice to the Greeks before sailing to Troy with George Bush's declaration of a national day of prayer after sending troops to the Persian Gulf, or the massacre of the Trojans by the Greeks to the My Lai incident in Vietnam, Fleischman helps young scholars understand the myth through present-day events and attitudes. Each page of text is enhanced by a collage of newspaper clippings relating to a particular piece of the myth.

Bethlehem Year Zero & Dateline Jerusalem 2 DVD Set
$49.99
Bethlehem Year Zero -- The birth of Jesus and surrounding events as TV news would cover it today. A mad tyrant Herod, a turbulent and restless people under Roman occupation, mass executions--all are under the shadow of the greatest astronomical event in 800 years, at a time when astrology was the cutting edge of political science. This is no nativity-play treatment of Christs birth, but an attempt to set it in the real political and social context of the time, based on the best available sources and research. Dateline Jerusalem -- Here is the Easter story as you have never experienced it. You'll feel like you are back in Jerusalem during Holy Week, the most momentous week in the history of the world, and the setting for this "special news report." With anchor Martyn Lewis and special on-the-scene correspondents, these news bulletins and reports cover the story of Holy Week in an enlightening presentation that provides greater understanding of the circumstances leading up to and surrounding Christ's crucifixion. Eight 15-minute segments.
