The newest Bible series is for the ladies in the house (of the Lord)
Hollywood power-of-the-Lord couple Roma Downey and Mark Burnett have attached themselves to yet another biblical TV project, this one for all the God-fearing ladies out there. The Women Of The Bible, narrated by Downey, will mix the stories of some of the Bible’s biggest babes, like Eve, Rahab, and Mother Mary, with interviews from prominent female biblical scholars. The special, which will air on Lifetime (“Television For Cubits”) before the network’s biblical miniseries The Red Tent, is just the latest in a long line of Bible-focused projects from the religious duo. (Downey came to fame on the ‘90s soft-focus extravaganza Touched By An Angel, while Burnett rose to prominence as a producer in 2000, when he adapted Jesus’s parable of “The Island Full Of Scheming Assholes” as Survivor. He later recounted the life of Christ, Himself, as Survivor: Redemption Island.)
