'A.D. The Bible Continues' Producers Roma Downey, Mark Burnett Share Exclusive Preview of Sunday's New Episode

"A.D. The Bible Continues" is returning to NBC with its eighth episode on Sunday, and series producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett offered The Christian Post an exclusive preview of what lies ahead.

As a follow-up to Downey and Burnett's "The Bible" series, "A.D. The Bible Continues" features the first 10 chapters of the book of Acts, revealing what would become the most influential movement in history — the rise of the church. The series, which premiered on Easter Sunday, is now gearing up for its eighth installment, and Downey is calling on CP readers to watch this week's episode.

In a taped greeting released exclusively to CP readers, Downey said: "Hello to all our friends at ChristianPost.com. So far we've witnessed the death and the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples restored by His return, and the epic arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. And now as Peter, John, and the disciples spread the Gospel across Judea, they are met with increasingly brutal persecution by those that will stop at nothing to silence them. Join us this Sunday, you won't want to miss what is about to happen as we race toward the dramatic season finale."
