Roma Downey and Mark Burnett create new bible miniseries

Downey to play Virgin Mary in ten-hour miniseries for History Channel

Burnett said they consulted experts on every point in the script. “We’re just going down the middle and telling the stories,” he said.

“We had a lot of offers for this. We chose the History channel carefully,” Burnett said. “This is a big thing. This could actually be bigger than Hatfields & McCoys,” which was a ratings sensation for History. “There’s a bigger audience for this,” he added.

He noted that 70 percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians but the production also should appeal to Jews, Muslims and anyone who wants to learn about the Bible.

The DVD version, which will contain hours of material not shown on History, could reach an audience worldwide.

“This will go out into corners of the world that we have never heard of, and touch hearts and bring hope"

Downey said. “It’s been just a very humbling, exciting and enormous privilege for us.” she added other  books inform you but the Bible can transform you .
