The Bible: The Epic Miniseries

This is one awesome series! We don't have cable, so we where unable to view this series on the history channel. We pre ordered this series and could not wait to get this series. With a busy life, we also wanted the option to watch The Bible when we wanted to. What a treat we were in for! This series is full of excitement just like the word! Our children love this series and even know which stories are which! This drew their attention and kept them wanting more! The word is the best anytime any day! You will enjoy this series. You will learn so much. This series is quality, truth, anointed and so much more. I always did love Touched by an Angel and Highway to Heaven. We own all of the Highway to Heaven that have been released and only need one more season of Touched by an Angel to complete that series. The Bible will make a great addition to your library! Thank you to the producers and to the history channel for having the courage to air this much needed story! All we have is Abba, and we need series like this to humble ourselves and to turn back to our Abba. We don't have cable because of all the trash on T.V. now days, so this is a breath of fresh air! We want our children to see what real T.V. and good T.V. shows really are and because we love this T.V. series, its clean fun and inspiration! Great for family time! We cut the cord on cable and now view TV though our DVD collection or watch though Netflix on our Roku. We just grew tired of paying for paid TV with nothing good to watch. We could not find this show on Netflix and decided to purchase this set individually as it was more affordable to purchase that way. Which is okay for us as we like to take our DVD's with us while on the road as it makes for some fun times. This has also come in handy when we are out and have to wait for long periods of time.. So back to the reason we went ahead and purchased this collection. Due to the garbage on T.V. these days, looks like many people are looking for great T.V. shows and are turning to shows like this again. Many people are tired of paying for trash T.V. so they have found other ways to view T.V. the way they want to. Looks like this is the growing attitudes with paid for TV these days.. And I know many like this show so it is in demand! Anyway, our family loves this show and glad that we were still able to find this show for a decent price on pre paid order.. We don't want to spend too much money out of our budget. We are just glad to be able to watch T.V. the way we want to and not have to pay for crap TV. We are tired of today's T.V. shows.. It's really sad that such a good method of influence has turned into trash T.V with the exception of National Geo, Animal plant etc.. Any way, if you want clean T.V. this is it! I can say since we cut cable off we have a better free life.. seems like we have more family time and time to do the things that we want to do. Plus we pay for the shows that we want like The Cosby show and Touched by an Angel since it is not on Netflix. I am glad that this T.V. series is available on Amazon. This T.V. Series teaches a lot of great lessons and also entertains you.. Miss those days of shows like this. So if you are looking for clean great family fun, this show is for you.. You will not be disappointed. Our children love this show! If you are looking for more shows and T.V. like this, try Sky Angel Fave T.V. you will find so many great shows similar to High Way To Heaven and Touched By An Angel. Happy viewing! We need real T.V. to come back.. We will not pay for paid for T.V. with all of the trash that is on it. We educate and entertain ourselves on everything except the word.. We need to educate our selves on the Lord and stand on the word. Again, thank you for making this series! This is a blessing and for all who support this series, you will be blessed! To the producers, please make more series like this. It is needed and the demand is there for clean T.V. Enjoy and feast on the word of the Lord!

Hello all! I have enjoyed watching The Bible: The Epic Miniseries and believe that it is a great series that is definitely worth buying. I'm not going to give a substantial review of the miniseries at this time, instead, the only disappointment that I experienced when receiving the Blu-ray version of The Bible was that it didn't come with an insert listing which episodes are on each disk and what the episodes are about. It only lists this information at the main menu of each disc. I have copied the text describing each part (parts 1-5 as aired on television) from the History Channel's website along with each episodes' description as given at the menu of each disc. From this I was able to put together a contents insert to keep with the series so that I'll know which episodes are on each disc and what they are about. I listed all of this information here in case if anyone else is interested in having this as well. You may even want to just omit the part descriptions as the videos only come in episodes. Please note that all of the information pertaining to the part and episode descriptions were written by the creators of The Bible: The Epic Miniseries and all rights belong to them (Downey & Burnett, 2013). It is my hope that God will bless many lives through this series. Enjoy! THE BIBLE The Epic Miniseries Disc 1: Episodes 1, 2, and 3 Disc 2: Episodes 4, 5, and 6 Disc 3: Episodes 7, 8, and 9 Disc 4: Episode 10 and Extra Features Part 1: Beginnings (Episodes 1 & 2) Noah endures God's wrath; Abraham reaches the Promised Land but still must prove his faith in God; Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt, and his faith in God is rewarded when the Red Sea parts to allow the Israelites to escape Pharaoh's chariots; Moses delivers his final message from God-the Ten Commandments. Episode 1: In the Beginning After the Great Flood, a new chapter in God's relationship with man begins. Abraham is chosen by God to lead his people to the Promised Land and is assured descendants as numerous as the stars, but God tests his faith again and again. Generations later, famine drives Abraham's descendents - the Israelites - into Egypt where they are enslaved by the pharaoh. Episode 2: Exodus While in exile, Moses is told by God at the Burning Bush that he will free the Israelites from slavery. Moses returns to Egypt and, with the help of ten devastating plagues and the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea, he leads the Israelites to freedom. At Mount Sinai, Moses receives laws from God that will prepare the Israelites for life in a new land. Part 2: Homeland (Episodes 3 & 4) Joshua conquers Jericho; Delilah betrays Samson as the Israelites battle the Philistines; Samuel anoints David as king, a move that could throw the nation into civil war; Saul is consumed with jealousy when David defeats Goliath; King David ushers in a golden age for Israel, but is soon seduced by power and lust for Bathsheba; God forgives David, and his son, Solomon, builds God's temple in Jerusalem. Episode 3: Homeland The Israelites are ready to begin a new life in a new land and, when the walls of Jericho miraculously collapse, they are finally able to gain a foothold in Canaan. At first, the Israelites face numerous foreign invaders when they disobey God. The Philistines eventually rule over them until God endows Samson with the physical strength to fight back. The Phillistines maintain the upper hand, so the Israelites demand a king to lead them in battle. Reluctantly, the prophet Samuel makes Saul king. Episode 4: Kingdom King Saul and the Israelite army face seemingly impossible odds against the Philistine army and their champion, Goliath. An unlikely hero, the young David, defeats Goliath and goes on to lead the Israelites to victory against the Philistines. Saul fears that David means to steal his throne and so betrays his loyal warrior. This is Saul's undoing, and David becomes king and later captures Jerusalem for the Israelites. Part 3: Hope (Episodes 5 & 6) The Jews are enslaved in Babylon; Daniel is thrown into the lions' den, but when his faith endures and God spares him, the Jews are allowed to return to Jerusalem; the Angel Gabriel tells Mary she will bear a child; Joseph takes Mary to Bethlehem for the census, where Jesus is born; the Holy family escapes Herod's order to kill Bethlehem's male babies; Judea comes under the ruthless rule of Pilate; John baptizes Jesus, who is now ready to take on his mission-and his revolution. Episode 5: Survival Nearly four hundred years after the rule of David, Babylonian hordes lay siege to Jerusalem and force the Jews into exile in Babylon, where their identity and faith are tested. Decades later, Cyrus, King of Persia, conquers Babylon. Fulfilling biblical prophecy, Cyrus begins to allow the Jews to return to their homeland. Episode 6: Hope Against a backdrop of Roman oppression, young Mary's faith is rewarded when the angel Gabriel tells her she will carry a special child from God. Jesus is born to Mary and Joseph and, from the outset, his life is in danger. But with guidance from his parents and his baptism by John, he is strong enough to take on even Satan. Part 4: Mission (Episodes 7 & 8) Jesus feeds the crowds in Galilee and brings a dead man, Lazarus, back to life; Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey-a declaration that he is the Messiah; Jesus turns on the money-changers in the Temple; Caiphas coaxes Judas into betraying Jesus; Jesus throws the disciples into turmoil at the Last Supper; Jesus is arrested and condemned to death as the disciples scatter. Episode 7: Mission Jesus and his disciples move from town to town preaching love and forgiveness, but this radical approach is not welcomed by everyone. Jesus' miracles grow increasingly wondrous until he conquers death itself, raising Lazarus from the tomb. Episode 8: Betrayal Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, openly declaring that he is the promised Messiah. High Priest Caiaphas fears that impassioned crowds will start a riot, so he finds a way to get to Jesus - through Judas. At the Last Supper, Jesus tells his disciples that one of them will betray him. They can only watch as Jesus is arrested and led away. Part 5: Passion (Episodes 9 & 10) Peter denies Jesus and Judas hangs himself; the crowd clamors for Jesus's death; Jesus is crucified, but when Mary Magdalene goes to his tomb, a figure walks towards her-he is back; Jesus commissions the disciples to "go and preach to all creation," but their godly mission meets with hatred and even death; Paul has a vision and experiences a miraculous change of faith on a journey to Damascus; John receives a revelation-Jesus is coming back, and all who keep the faith will be rewarded. Episode 9: Passion Jesus is sentenced to die by crucifixion. The crowds of Jerusalem wail as Jesus is forced to drag his cross to Golgotha, where he is crucified for all to see. As life leaves his body, the sky darkens and the earth quakes. His mother weeps. Episode 10: Courage Mary Magdalene thinks she has gone mad when she finds Jesus' tomb empty, but then Jesus appears. The resurrected Jesus delivers his final message to his disciples before he leaves them to continue without him, but promises that, in the Spirit, he will be with them always.

I watched all the episodes of "The Bible" and then I watched the "Extras" at the end of the last DVD. I found the Extras explained a lot about why the particular people, stories, battles, etc. had been included in this 10 hour miniseries. The Extras explained how The Bible drama wanted to stay as true to the real Christian Bible as possible, so after nearly a year of consultation with expert theologians, historians and film makers, specific Bible characters and their stories were chosen. The "Extras" also told about who the specific actors were and how the remarkable choice was made about the man who was to play the role of Jesus. The object of the miniseries was to stay with Truth and Love as the themes, even though there are many battles, as told in the Christian Bible and the series did stay right online with this theme. The first five episodes of "The Bible" miniseries deal with the Old Testament and its characters, their stories and the battles which ensued, in the fight for Israel and her people. Then episodes 6 to 10 of "The Bible" miniseries deal with the birth of Jesus and the stories from the New Testament, ending with John about to be shown the Revelation by Jesus. The entire production of "The Bible" was filmed in Morocco. The materials for the costumes were all made in Morocco so the garments and their textures were as close as possible to what people would have worn during the various centuries depicted in the miniseries and around the time of Jesus' life. The geography of Morocco was very similar as to that which would occur around Israel. The calibre of the performances by the actors/actresses in this miniseries is fantastic, and I would go so far as to even say "breathtaking" at times. The episode of Jesus' crucifixion is absolutely heartbreaking, and, at the same time, spellbinding, as you cannot draw yourself away from it. There are so many superlative adjectives to say about "The Bible" but I think the best thing I can say is this: in a time frame of 10 hours, "The Bible" has produced an incredible story from Genesis to Revelation, with the same Truth and Love as told in the real Christian Bible, with a superb cast who bring you right into the story with them, so that you feel the anguish, the love, the sadness, the cruelty, the joy... all the emotions that happen within the true Bible stories that we learned as children. To those who are very familiar with their bibles, then this miniseries will enhance their knowledge, perhaps. To those who have forgotten a lot of the stories of the bible which they may have learned when they were children, this will be a very dramatic refresher course of the real events, both tragic and joyful, which actually happened in the bible. To those who have never heard of the bible or anything about God or Jesus, this will be a story which may have a very deep impact on your heart. I have been absolutely emotionally "drained" by all the stories told in "The Bible", but particularly by the episode of Jesus' Crucifixion. I would recommend "The Bible" miniseries to everybody who wants to discover or remember that in today's world where many people say they don't believe in God, the stories told in this miniseries will help put you "back on track" to the theme of Truth and Love that the Christian bible teaches us. It will also be a reminder to heed the last commandment which Jesus left for us, "To Love One Another". I think that most people will be very deeply moved by watching this entire miniseries, then watching the Extras at the end of the last DVD.

This production brings a true account of the historical books of the Bible - and it does so admirably. The characters and dynamics are brought to live in a way that has poetic licence but yet stays aligned to how the historical author's accounts. It gives a sense of how the people, places, kings, slaves and of course, Jesus the Messiah lived. This isn't meant to replace the reading of the bible, but it can certainly help give the framework to make greater sense of the complex, messy situations and life actions of the individual characters in their environments. The bible documents immense hope and prophecies in God's dealings with mankind, but it also doesn't hold back in terms of the good, bad and the ugly of man's sinfulness. This production manages to capture these. Overall, this is well worth watching and to me, the DVD gives the viewer a greater accessibility into the factual narratives and still-relevant truths contained in the books of the Bible written over two thousand years.

Buon prodotto anche se devo dire che potevano utilizzare un box multi cd migliore di questo, comunque per il resto è funzionate ed arrivato integro. Sempre tutto perfetto con Amazon.

This is a fine product. It is definitely worth taking the time and trouble to watch and compare to Scripture from the Old and New Testament. Here and there, there were events, background and acting which, in my opinion , could have been better. . . BUT The product arrived on time and the delivery and service is excellent. Thank you. June E
