The Testaments of One Fold and One Shepherd (2000)

Jacob, a Nephite youth, loses his faith, despite the efforts of his father Helam, and begins to associate with a secret combination group led by the evil Kohor. Portions of Christ's mortal ministry as recorded in the Bible are shown. Christ dies--with great destruction in the Americas--and is resurrected. A penitent Jacob takes his now blind father to where Christ appears to the Nephites, and Christ restores Helam's sight.

Essentially Kieth Merrill's sequel to Legacy, this is the second large-scale 70mm film he did for the theater of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building next to Temple Square (which was renamed the Legacy Theater with Testament's premiere). The scale of the production was immense, demonstrating not only the success of Legacy but the Church's on-going commitment to large-scale films. It was conceived as a result of Legacy and the 1997 Pioneer Sesquicentennial's emphasis on pioneers; Church leaders desired a production that focused on Jesus Christ rather than modern Church members.

Later Kieth Merrill declared his wish that he could have remade the film with the Nephite story set in the Hopewell Culture after his learning of the Heartland Geography Model.
