Dear
CLC Family,
We have a terrific opportunity to see the entire Bible depicted in 5 weeks with a quality never before seen. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity! The more I think about the Old Testament the more I realize that it, too, points directly to Jesus.
In Him,
Jeff

Producer Mark Burnett has been responsible for some of the biggest hits of modern television, including Survivor, The Apprentice, and The Voice. His wife, Roma Downey, starred for ten years in the TV series Touched by an Angel. But they believe their five-week miniseries that sweeps through the entire story of the Bible (airing on the History Channel Sunday nights beginning Sunday, March 3) is the most significant work they have done to date.
Burnett and his wife
have produced a mini-series that is not only "not
disappointing," but actually rises to the top of the
"Wow" scale. Attempting to take on the whole Bible in 10 hours
is pretty much an impossible task for just about anyone, but apparently
not for the Burnetts. They really have produced something of epic
proportions.
Over the last 3 1/2
years, Mark and Roma have been driven by the singular vision of
producing a project that would honor the sacred text, yet bring it to
life for a new generation. The end result is something that has the feel
of a $150 million big budget film.
A half year of
filming in Morocco, hundreds of extras, an Oscar-winning editing studio
and a score that brought back together for the first time after
"Gladiator" the incredible Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerard – all
this helped to bring the Bible to screen like no other film in history.
The cast made up of gifted actors coming from across the world reflects
the global influence of the Bible – a Samson from the African
diaspora, an Irish David, and a Portuguese Jesus, just to name a few.
Obviously, the most
challenging role of the entire series is that of Jesus. Diogo Morgado
rises to the task, presenting Jesus as a powerful yet compassionate and
humble character.
