The British newspaper The Guardian has a US edition. Here is one reviewer’s assessment:
“The scriptures according to basic cable make a mockery of history and religion. Surely all these viewers deserve better”
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Some good quotes from the review:
“The History Channel more or less abandoned the pretext of history years ago. As programs like “UFO Hunters”, “Swamp People” and “Hairy Bikers” added up, the network’s decision to broadcast The Bible as a mini-series seemed like an obvious disaster. It is, too, in all ways except one: ratings.”
I never thought I’d see the following in one sentence together: “UFO Hunters”, “Swamp People”, “Hairy Bikers”, “The Bible”. It’s like a bad ‘which one of these doesn’t belong?’
To continue- “The sum is bland, erratic, and would be incoherent if it weren’t somewhat familiar material. The Wire this is not.”
“Nobody expected art – or even history – from the History Channel, but the producers veered so far in the opposite direction that they erased all the personality and depth of the source, not to mention heart or wit. The History Channel has given us the Bible as reality TV. The result amounts to little more than an exploitation of faith.”
What have I been saying?!?! —
“and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; (make merchandise of you KJV) their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” (2 Peter 2:3)
