The Chosen, the multi-season series about Jesus of Nazareth
It's one of the most successful crowd-funded projects ever, with its makers claiming that during four seasons of the series, viewer support raised nearly $100m in production expenses. But the chances are if you're not a US Christian, you might never have heard of The Chosen, the first multi-season series about Jesus of Nazareth, told through the eyes of his disciples and followers, as well as his opponents.
The series is all based on the gospel accounts of Jesus's life and ministry.
In seasons one to three, he assembles his inner circle of disciples, delivers the so-called Sermon on the Mount, heals various people, including a woman who has been bleeding for 12 years, raises Jairus's daughter from the dead, and walks on water (excerpts released on social media show how the filmmakers recreate that miracle.)
As well as the series on The Chosen app it is also free to view at watch.thechosen.tv - there's the option to donate.
Episodes of The Chosen season four will be released in cinemas in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland from 1 February.
Streaming dates will be announced at a later date.

"Even the winds and seas obey Him"On a weekend when heavy rain and winds had blown across his diocese, it seems more than coincidence that a new pastoral message from the Bishop of Cork and Ross should begin with a scripture quote: “Even the wind and the seas obey Him”.
Bishop Fintan Gavin read his message on Sunday to pilgrims attending the annual Mass at St. Finbarr’s Oratory, Gougane Barra.
Bishop Fintan’s message is a call to the people of the diocese to commit to a year-long time of prayer, listening and discernment about the future of the Catholic Church in the parishes and chaplaincies of the diocese.
In a time of unprecedented change in society and the Catholic Church in Ireland, people are understandably concerned about their parish’s future, he said.
We aspire to be an inclusive, welcoming, caring, worshipping Christian community in which the values and teachings of Jesus are lived, shared and celebrated
