I saw the DVD series for this today at Walmart.
It’s only a surprise to the weirdos in Hollywood.
Aside from the religious aspects, The Bible series was also very good history. For example, every other film I’ve seen on Jesus ended with his crucifiction or resurrection. This one told what came after, what the apostles did and what happened to them. I found that fascinating, especially John. I didn’t know he survived a poisoning and was exiled and then wrote Revelation.
The historical connection (at least in my view) was never made between the rise of Christianity and the fall of the Roman Empire. Their power started to crumble as people started to say, I kneel before God, I need not kneel before you. Kill me if you want, I will not obey. Empires and power structures just can’t take that.
Already bought the DVD series!
Could be a good thing or could be a bad thing, depending on the content and how it tracks the Bible. Although I have recorded it, I have yet to see any segment.
Considering that the History Channel trots out left leaning revisionist history, I was amazed it aired this great series.
Could someone answer me couple quick questions, I googled but was unable to find answer.
Is Roma Downey pro life? Does she support Gay marriage? Does she vote Democrat?
Any one of those that is answered wrong, is all I would need to know
I know touched by a angel series was not Christian, to weird, could not watch it.
I did see the entire cast on Larry King years and years ago, the producer claimed to be a Christian, then went on to say...am not one of those right wingers
Highway To Heaven was a great show, but Touched by an Angel was just to liberal and they actually got into the ocult, so I could not watch it
I would save myself the bother of watching if I knew the answer to the 3 questions, gay marriage, abortion and do they vote democrat
Referring to Obama as a fellow Christian may have been enough for me to tune out now
The Bible was great and the Vikings is a hit as well. One of the characters is a priest taken as a slave, it’s interesting to watch him little by little introduce Christianity to his captors.
