Based on the Gospel of Matthew, the show stresses Jesus’ humility and compassion, reinforcing that he’s a hero for secular humanists as well as the pious. Whether you go for it depends not on your religious affiliation, but on your tolerance for the format; it can suggest a giddily earnest children’s program, with Jesus cast as the firm but likable teacher and his disciples as eager but often unruly students.
