Mark Burnett Says ‘Hand Of God Helped Him With ‘The Bible’ Miniseries

Perhaps a higher power helped Mark Burnett on the set of The Bible, History’s miniseries that set a cable record of 13.1 million viewers for last Sunday’s premiere.

“I really believe what I’m going to tell you right now,” Burnett told Entertainment Weekly.“The hand of God was on this…. the edit came together perfectly, the actors came together perfectly, it just comes to life.”

Burnett also noted some bizarre occurrences while filiming such as high speed winds exactly when Jesus said, “The Holy Spirit is like the wind.” Burnett also told a story about how a small part of Jesus’s costume was lost in a reservoir, but that it was miraculously returned to them by someone from far away who didn’t know “why he should seek us, but he felt he had to return it.”
