My Way News - 'A.D. The Bible Continues' goes beyond the biblical epic
My Way News reports: "Politics in Jerusalem 33 A.D. was just as complex and dangerous as it
is today and NBC's new series, 'A.D. The Bible Continues' fuses the
biblical epic with the current rage for taut political dramas — 'House
of Cards' in sandals.
The first of the 12 episodes airs at 9 p.m. EDT Easter, picking up where
its predecessor, the wildly popular 'The Bible' series from the History
Channel left off and going on to tell the story of what happened to
Christ's disciples after the crucifixion.
It is choosing this time period that makes 'A.D.' such a departure from
past Bible stories, most of which end with the resurrection."
Comment: I'm keeping an open mind. This series has the potential to teach millions of people about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. It could inspire curiosity among those who are unfamiliar with Christianity and lead them to a spiritual epiphany. On the other hand, it could also be a series heavy with secular themes told in a manner to titillate modern audiences without sharing the message of salvation. I'm hoping for the former, but would not be at all surprised by the latter.
