6. The Truth Behind: Devil’s Bible
Site rank: 8, IMDb rank: 3
Director: Robert Michaels
Lord of the Rings’s Dominic Monaghan narrates this discussion of the Codex Gigas (“giant book”), nicknamed the Devil’s Bible because of the large illustration of the Devil inside. But the nickname is misleading, because the book is indeed mostly a Christian Bible, a copy of the most widely used translation of its time, plus miscellanea from its publication in the 12th century. The mystery isn’t about the Devil at all — it’s who transcribed the text and how many scribes there were. This is the second entry from the Truth Behind series to make the 11 best Christian documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
