(19,841 posts)"Burnetts (producer's) elation is understandable. Just before the first segment aired, he said, We believe our Bible series has the potential to reach not only those who already go to church but could reach a whole new generation of people who have never been to church. Our greatest hope is that this series will affect a new generation of viewers and draw them back to the Bible.
In an introductory video he also said, Weve told the stories of the Bible in a way to grab viewers attention and draw them in to want to know more. The footage is exciting, its compelling, poignant and powerful. Our hope is this series will reach millions of people around the world.
Huge mail-order houses are already accepting pre-orders (Amazon: $29.95, shipped April 2) and mega-pastors Rick Warren and Joel Osteen are among those urging Christians to base Bible studies and worship around the new media.
Warren, the leader of the huge Saddleback Church in California, is has based five sermons to be delivered each week before the segments are shown on the History Channel. Last Saturday he urged other pastors around the world to do the same,. Dont miss this opportunity, Warren said. This is a wave. Part of leadership is catching the wave. God is about to do something really great.
