Plot
The series covers "Genesis to Revelation" in "one grand narrative," structured as ten hour-long episodes broadcast in five pairs, with each episode containing two or three biblical stories told through live action and computer-generated imagery. According to Burnett, it included "obvious" stories such as Noah's Ark, the Exodus, and the life of Jesus Christ. Five hours are taken from the Old Testament, five from the New. The series is based on the New International Version and the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
Downey and Burnett said their "greatest hope" in making the series was that it would "affect a new generation of viewers and draw them back to the Bible."
"Part of what we hoped to accomplish with the series was to show the Bible is not simply a collection of unconnected stories which are often discussed and analyzed in snippets with chapter and verse numbers," the couple wrote in an op-ed in The Huffington Post. "Instead, we wanted to show how the Old Testament connects seamlessly to the New Testament. How they are one sweeping story with one grand, overriding message: God loves each one of us as if we were the only person in all the world to love.
Differences with the Bible
Despite the willingness of the producers to remain faithful to the sacred text and the consequent consultation of various experts, some critics highlighted some discrepancies between the facts shown in the miniseries and those actually narrated in the Bible. Between these:
*In the Bible, Noah's three sons are three grown men while in the miniseries they are three boys. Also in the miniseries Noah has daughters not present in the Bible.
* In the scenes of the destruction of Sodom, ninja angels are shown killing the population. All of this is not in the Bible.
*In the miniseries Sarah is seen running after Abraham after realizing that he wants to sacrifice Isaac, an event not recorded in the Bible.
* The place where Abraham should have sacrificed his son is shown in an area not far from their home, while Genesis speaks of a three-day journey made by the two.
*Abraham is later seen taking a young lamb by the leg for sacrifice, instead of an adult ram caught by its horns in a bush, as narrated in the biblical text.
*The miniseries shows Moses doubting God several times. In the Bible it is written that the only time Moses doubted was in Meribah.
*The miniseries shows the two Jews entering Jericho at night, climbing over the walls using a greenish-grey rope and being immediately chased; according to the biblical narrative, they clearly entered the city gate, moving freely. Only later were they pursued. The rope, moreover, was scarlet in color.
*Miniseries shows Daniel and three of his compatriots captured during the siege of Jerusalem, whereas the Bible indicates they had already been deported more than a decade earlier.
* In the miniseries we see the Persian Cyrus enter Babylon without a fight thanks to the unconditional surrender of the people when Nebuchadnezzar is still alive, while in the Bible it is said that Nebuchadnezzar was already dead, in fact his son Belshazzar reigned in his place, and that Cyrus and his army entered Babylon without a fight at night, thanks to everyone getting drunk at a banquet hosted by the king himself.
*The series shows that the story of the prophet Daniel in the lions' den takes place during the reign of Cyrus while the Bible clearly states that all this happened under Darius the Mede, governor of Mesopotamia.
* The prophet Isaiah is shown as a contemporary of Daniel, in stark contrast to the data indicated in the sacred text.
*As regards the temptations of Jesus, in the miniseries Satan invites Jesus to throw himself from a high mountain; in the Gospels instead the devil invites Jesus to throw himself from the temple, while on the mountain he invites him to adore him.
* In the series, having arrived on Golgotha, the Roman soldiers tear Jesus' tunic to crucify him, while in the Gospels it clearly says that, since the tunic is made of a fine fabric and sewn all in one piece, they did not want to break it but rather cast lots for it.
