‘The Voice’ Creator Burnett Hears Higher Calling

It took the combined clout of an actress best known for playing an angel and her big-ratings executive-producer husband, but Roma Downey and Mark Burnett have pulled off the making of a 10-hour epic miniseries, “The Bible,” that gets its premiere Sunday, March 3, on the History cable channel.

For two hours each Sunday night millions of viewers will see the Bible come to life in a way never before seen, with repeats on Wednesday nights.

The final episode of the series will air on Easter Sunday and will feature the death and resurrection of Jesus. To help insure the accuracy of the miniseries, many Christian scholars served as advisors and hundreds of Christian leaders have given their endorsement.
