I couldn’t be more excited about the History Channel’s new mini series, “The Bible” premiering this Sunday, 3.3.13! This is a ten-part series, and they will be showing two parts each Sunday, concluding on Easter. I know this is going to be incredible! Take a look at the trailer below.
The mini series is available for pre-order on Amazon HERE. I will definitely be getting this for my DVD collection!

When you think about your favorite stories from the Bible, what characters and scenes are you looking forward to seeing in this mini series?
From the Berean Call:
This mini-series is but one more program designed to discredit the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.
It gets worse if you examine the background of those making this Bible mini-series. Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett say they believe in the Bible, but it’s clear that they will put their own spin on it. Downey was one of the stars of
Touched by an Angel, with her co-star being Della Reese, who founded her own “New Thought” church (Christian Science, Religious Science, Unity, and other mind science cults). They are both new-agers to the core. Downey was interviewed by a Hollywood publication, which furnished this information:
“Roma also attends the University of Santa Monica, a private graduate school founded by New Age spiritual and self-help guru John-Roger, and will graduate with a master’s degree in spiritual psychology in June.
“‘As someone who has been on a spiritual journey for many years, it seems a natural extension of that work,’ says the lady still seen in Hallmark Channel reruns as angel Monica. She notes, ‘The skills I’m learning will ultimately qualify me to be a therapist’ – not that she has plans to start a practice anytime soon. ‘It’s really so interesting to learn about human behavior'” (http://becksmithhollywood.com/?p=1879).
Not surprisingly, there is already a “Bible 30-Day Experience Church Kit that “includes everything you need to launch a sermon series and outreach campaign based on The Bible miniseries.” course for churches available in conjunction with this series. We’ve received reports from readers of The Berean Call that their pastors have announced new studies based upon this material.
Downey’s producer, husband Burnett, states, “By telling these emotionally connected, big stories, hopefully millions of people will reopen their Bibles.”
It would truly be wonderful if people would reopen their Bibles and move away from reading about or seeing a documentary on the Bible and would instead read the Bible itself to see what it says. May the Lord deliver us from the deception of men.
