The Jesus Experience is an eight-part documentary series produced by Paulist Pictures in 2002. These are the stories of seven lands and the pioneers who introduced Jesus to them. This is the amazing chronicle of the saints and rogues who carried the message and who also lived their own image of Jesus. This is the story of the human experience of Jesus.

Even as the followers of Jesus compiled the story of His life into books known as the Gospels, others ventured out to spread His message. They encountered a myriad of cultures around the world throughout the ages. From Rome to Constantinople, Dublin to Moscow, Capetown to Beijing, Lima to Los Angeles, the human experience of Jesus assumed remarkably different forms. Expressed through liturgy and dance, song and symbol, apparel and art, this human experience is both profound belief and impassioned manifestation of each land’s culture.

The Jesus Experience is an entertaining and enriching story of how seven world cultures embraced Christianity and made it their own, shaping a worldwide faith totaling more than two billion believers.
