Right now on Amazon you can grab The Bible: The Epic Miniseries on DVD for $6.99.
This 10-part miniseries meets the overwhelming challenge of bringing the story of the Bible to film in a way that embraces modern technology and makes the stories seem relevant and fresh to today’s audiences. The Biblewas truly a project of passion for executive producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey. By focusing on hope and love as the string of continuity throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, Burnett, Roma, and the writers and filmmakers have created a powerful series about a historical text that’s at once action film, adventure, and even love story. The many stories included in this presentation include those of Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark, the birth of Abraham’s son Isaac, Moses’s parting of the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Samson and Delilah, Mary’s conception of Jesus and his birth, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spread of Jesus’s word through his disciples. Each of the 10 episodes is powerfully rendered–the subject matter is by nature moving, and the costuming, special effects, settings, and filming choices are fitting and realistic. The performances of the entire cast are stirring, but special recognition is deserved by Diogo Morgado for his performance as Jesus, Downey as Mother Mary, Darwin Shaw as Peter, Joe Wredden as Judas, and William Houston as Moses.
