Obviously not all the stories
could be covered in those 10 hours, and some of them needed to be compressed.
However, the Burnetts – with an impressive list of over 40 advising scholars –
have been faithful to the spirit of the text and at the same time provided a
television series, that is compelling, gritty at times and spiritually moving.
"The Bible" is not just
for the faithful. It's meant for everyone to see: the curious, the skeptic as
well as those who just want to see an entertaining adventure series.
There is a scene where Jesus and
Peter are together on the boat. Peter has just landed a bountiful load of fish
from waters that he deemed unfishable. He looks at Jesus and asks him:
"What are we going to do?" And Jesus replies: "We're going to
change the World!"
As this series aired on History
Channel in March and later this year around the world, it had impact on
people's lives today as well as the lives of generations to come.
This time, Hollywood got it right.
