What an absolutely terrible series; Dusty's version is absolutely much more accurate to the text, and more compelling. I did a quick search, but couldn't find any information about whether Burnett and Downey are in fact lobbying to have the film added to school curricula. If so, what a travesty. This crappy show stands in complete contravention to everything we are trying to teach in university Religions programs.

FYI. I had a really funny moment when watching this show with my 9-year-old son. In the scene in which Abraham starts to hear voices, and is convinced that he should offer his youngest son up as a child sacrifice to Yahweh, my kid makes a face, and asks with an air of repugnance: "Is he mad?!"

Yes, son. Yes, he is.
