I am a graduate student in Christian Theology and I found the information in this documentary pretty comparable to what we study in class, so therefore in sync with contemporary scholarship. There is a lot of information that goes into understanding the Biblical texts, and part of that understanding comes with knowing the historical context that brought about the composition of the Canon. There were various texts being used depending on what part of the world you were in. Also, some words, symbols, or actions had cultural significance and even different meanings from what they would mean today, and we don't pick up on these things automatically as the ancient Jewish culture would have because our society is so different. I think this documentary did a good job of representing the scholarship in its time frame. It wasn't a perfect representation of all of the scholarship that's out there, but it was still decent.
