Co-writer/producer John Meredyth Lucas, a Roman Catholic, was also a writer/producer for the original Star Trek (1966) television series. In Part Two, host Oswald C.J. Hoffmann, with a bit of a wry smile, refers to the journey of the Magi (or "Wise Men") as a "star trek." (Note: This is found in the original version and early VHS release. The later Vision Video release of this program - at least the DVD version - appears to have truncated the episodes. It is possible that the version of the program for syndicated television was trimmed, and that this is the version ultimately used for the Vision Video release.)
According to host Oswald C.J. Hoffmann's autobiography, 'What More Is There to Say but Amen', the film editor worked on the "In Search Of..." documentary series. This unnamed gentleman helped re-tool the raw footage into something more compelling by adding re-enactments.
According to host Oswald C.J. Hoffmann's autobiography, co-producer Arnon Zuckermann was the former head of Israeli television.
Host/narrator Dr. Oswald C.J. Hoffmann, a noted clergyman, often prepared his own translations from the original Greek texts of the New Testament.
The series was translated into Russian in 1995 and aired on Russian television with funding from Aid Association for Lutherans, which merged with Lutheran Brotherhood to become Thrivent Financial for Lutherans ("a Fortune 500 financial services membership organization"). Thrivent later helped fund the motion picture Luther (2003), starring Joseph Fiennes, Peter Ustinov, and Alfred Molina.
