The Bible miniseries aired its fifth and final episode Easter Sunday evening on History Channel. Covering Genesis to Revelation in "one grand narrative" the series is Mark Burnett's "most important" project yet.

"Part of what we hoped to accomplish with the series was to show the Bible is not simply a collection of unconnected stories which are often discussed and analyzed in snippets with chapter and verse numbers," the couple wrote in an op-ed in The Huffington Post. "Instead, we wanted to show how the Old Testament connects seamlessly to the New Testament. How they are one sweeping story with one grand, overriding message: God loves each one of us as if we were the only person in all the world to love."

In 2011, The New York Times reported that Downey and Burnett were in production, selecting which stories would be included in The Bible series. With a budget of nearly $22 million, Burnett and Downey enlisted the help of Christian consultants such as Rick Warren, Joel Osteen and many more. Shooting took place primarily in Morocco.

Though the show has garnered divine ratings, The Bible miniseries has also sparked some controversy. There were claims that the actor chosen to play Satan resembled President Barack Obama. History Channel denied the claims, while Burnett and Downey chalked it up to "utter nonsense."

Downey and Burnett also released a companion novelization to The Bible series titled, A Story of God and All of Us. The book is filled with pictures on set and devotionals paired with different stories from the Bible.
