Over the past 5 weeks The Bible Series has been seen on The History Channel. The series has garnered a huge audience, a lot of media attention, created some controversy and gotten a lot of family’s reading their Bibles and discussing the things of God. I have not yet seen the series. I have it all recorded on my DVR and we will be watching it, we just haven’t been home to do so during the month of March.
I have read posts that are both pro and con and let’s be honest-how do you condense the Bible, the inspired Word of God into 10 hours of television? This was a mammoth task and in the end I think it accomplished what it set out to do, it got people reading their Bibles! I have seen so many posts from friends on Facebook saying how they watch as a family and as questions have come up, they paused the TV and read the Scriptures together as a family!
I wish I had this resource when I was homeschooling my boys. How awesome is it to be able to dramatize the Scriptures and add another perspective to the written word? As a church leader I know this DVD series will become a part of our teaching library just like other great Christian films have. Here is a clip from the finale which aired Easter Sunday night:

We watched the second half every week. We watched The Amazing Race during the first hour and then would switch over. We would often catch the first 1/2 during the week on reruns:)

I have watched the first 2 episodes and have the others dvr’ed. I really like seeing the Bible brought to the screen.
I never watch TV, so I had never got around to watching it, but I will gladly check it out ASAP. There is no better way to spend time than to “waste” it on Christ.
Not yet, but it’s on the DVR to be watched. Hopefully sometime this week or next weekend.
I watched parts of it. Love it.
yes, i loved it!
I was able to see only a couple of the episodes, but I really enjoyed what I saw. Especially the episode of Moses, and the parting of the Red Sea.
