Well worth a watch! The Bible is an epic 10-hour mini-series that brings to life the dramatic tales of faith and courage in the most widely-read book of all time. Breathtaking in scope and scale, The Bible series features powerful performances, exotic locations and cutting-edge visual effects and will entertain and inspire the whole family. From Genesis to Revelation, The Bible series features some of the most famous stories ever written and some of the most iconic characters: from Noah’s Ark, the Exodus and Daniel in the lion’s den to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

Channel 5 is broadcasting the series this December. Episode One: Beginnings is at 9pm on Saturday 30 November.

THE BIBLE series is an excellent dramatisation of the Bible. It is historically credible and put together with sensitivity and imagination. The producers have a wonderful ability to make you think about familiar scenes in an entirely new way.

Helen K Bond (Senior Lecturer in New Testament, University of Edinburgh)

Attempting to depict the whole span of the biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation is a bold undertaking. THE BIBLE series pulls it off. It has paid very close attention to the text but at the same time imagined what it might have felt like for the different characters depicted.

Paula Gooder (Canon Theologian of Birmingham and Guildford Cathedrals)

THE BIBLE series is stunning – superbly acted and beautifully produced. It brings the stories of the Bible to life in an extraordinary way.
