Let me clarify, it was on a Christian website that the series was awful.
I wonder if it should have been called, “An Atheists’ View of the Bible”?
Anyone with a thorough knowledge of scripture will find it awful. Tons of details wrong on things clearly detailed in scripture, and incredible license inserting things NOT written, over dramatizing them, and having characters say things totally contradicting what is known about them character-wise.
It’s 50% accurate at best, with 25% being contradictory to what is said/revealed in scripture.
And, tons of important stuff left out. But I can overlook that as they are cramming so much in such a short viewing time.
The characterization of Abraham was way out of sync with scripture re: his attitudes and thinking. And when Isaac was born, he was 100 and Sarah was 90 - but the characters portraying them looked to be in their 60’s.
Cecil B. DeMille’s version was far more accurate....
This is a typical rendition of scripture by people who are not students of it - nor true believers.....
IMHO, of course......
