Jesus and Jerusalem on TV: How Do Bible Documentaries Get Made?

Friends of ASOR present the next webinar in our monthly series on October 17, at 7:30 pm EDT, featuring Prof. Robert Cargill. Have you ever wondered how TV Bible documentaries like those about Jesus and Jerusalem are developed? Who researches and writes them? How do the experts get chosen? How are the reenactments created? And who decides what makes the final cut? (And why did they skip the most important part?!)
This webinar explores how various Bible-related TV documentaries are made, and what goes into making a quality, responsible program about the popular subjects of Jesus and Jerusalem. We will also delve into how some producers sensationalize religion and the holy city (Jerusalem) in an effort to increase ratings, but at the expense of historical accuracy and education. An expert in this area, Dr. Cargill (University of Iowa), has appeared in over 4 dozen documentaries and has consulted on several major documentary series on CNN, History, and National Geographic.
Join us to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the nitty-gritty of making TV documentaries, followed by an “Ask Me Anything” question and answer period with Dr. Cargill.
Dr. Robert R. Cargill (PhD 2008 UCLA, Near Eastern Languages and Cultures) is Associate Professor of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Iowa and Editor of the new Bible & Archaeology website. He teaches biblical studies, Second Temple Judaism, archaeology, and ancient languages including Biblical Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Syriac. His recent books include Melchizedek, King of Sodom: How Scribes Invented the Biblical Priest-King (Oxford University Press, 2019) and The Cities That Built the Bible (HarperOne, 2016).
A specialist in public biblical scholarship, you can see him regularly on CNN, History, Discovery, and National Geographic, where he contributes and consults on shows like National Geographic’s “Writing the Dead Sea Scrolls,” History’s “Jesus: His Life,” CNN’s “Finding Jesus,” History’s “Bible Secrets Revealed,” and most recently, CNN’s “Jerusalem: City of Faith and Fury.” He has excavated at Banias, Omrit, Haẓor, and most recently at Azekah with Tel Aviv University.
