The Bible: The Epic Miniseries (DVD), Mill Creek, Drama

The Bible mini series is the best video I have seen produced on t.v. The visiual portrayal gave me a greater understanding of the Bible Book. The special effects brought to life the written word. I wish the entire Bible would be produced in the same manner, but I am grateful to the producers for what must have been an exhausting task. Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett deserves a special award for their beautiful work. I believe this movie would benefit so many parents and schools in teaching our children and adults about the Bible and how it reflects on our world today. Thank you Roma and Mark. <3

The intent of this production was to communicate the spirit of the Bible which I think it accomplishes. Because of the enormity of this project, much had to be left out and some things were combined. In comparing rigid accuracy, there are discrepancies. It is not sensational. It errs more on the realistic side and actually understates some of the miracles that happened. That said, it is a great springboard to go back and compare with what the Bible actuallly says and what happened historically. We are very glad to own it and will share it with others. The cinematography and special effects are well done and as already stated, not overdone. The casting is also excellent both in the protagonist and antagonist roles. One comes away with the renewed realization that these were real people in relationship with the real God - Father, Son, and Spirit. We did take notes as we watched to create a more thorough table of contents.
