A new biblical series will depict the Book of Genesis through the eyes of the book’s most well-known women. “The Faithful: Women of the Bible” follows the stories of Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel and how each of these women, and their descendants, shaped the story of salvation.
The three-week event will begin airing on March 22 on Fox and end on Easter Sunday, April 5.
René Echevarria, executive producer and showrunner of the series, said the creators “set out to try to tell these stories in an emotionally grounded way and really try to understand what their lives were like — what their emotional lives were like.”
Echevarria highlighted the idea of the relatability behind these stories and how they resonate with modern audiences. He also said it was important that he and his team stayed true to Scripture.
Echevarria said he hopes viewers are reminded that the men and women in these stories were “flawed, strong, people dealing with extraordinary circumstances and sometimes they made mistakes and yet God always made a good work of it.” Click here to read more.
