For centuries critics have claimed that Jesus’ miracles never happened or that they were purely illusions. As the lead investigator for the Miracles of Jesus, Brock presents an objective look at the miracles Jesus performed and investigates whether they were illusions or reality. His journey took him throughout the Middle East and Holy Lands, as he ventures to find out: Can ancient miracles be re-created using 21st century technology? A synopsis of each episode follows:

Episode 1
In and around Galilee, Brock examines Jesus' ability to raise the dead, multiply food and walk on water. Can he replicate the miracles as illusions â€" or were they really supernatural wonders? Plus, discover evidence that suggests Jesus duplicated the miracles of several Old Testament figures that came before him in history: Elijah, Moses and Joshua.
Episode 2
Illusionist Brock Gill focuses on Jesus’ ability to heal the sick and conduct successful exorcisms. One case in particular â€" his exorcism of a man named Legion â€" Brock investigates skeptic’s claims of hypnosis and the possibility that Jesus was able to do miracles by the power of God Himself.
Episode 3
In the heart of Jerusalem, Brock Gill explores the remarkable claim that Jesus rose from his tomb three days after his execution. While some say the resurrection was an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the disciples or that Jesus' body was stolen from its grave, Gill weighs the latest archaeological and psychological evidence to reach some extraordinary conclusions.


Part of the program was shot on location in Malta at the Mediterranean Film Studios, sharing the space with Steven Spielberg as they worked on Munich. The main actor who played Jesus in the Miracles of Jesus was George Calil, who may be best known for his role in Band of Brothers.

The show also received high marks from a prominent group of leaders, including international evangelist Luis Palau, author Mark Mittelberg, pastor Harry Reeder and apologist Craig Branch. LifeWay Church Resources also encouraged more than 13,000 affiliated student leaders to tune in to and promote the special.
