Tonight’s a great opportunity to bring together women of faith and huddle around the television. Lifetime premieres the 2 hour special The Women of the Bible, narrated by executive producer Roma Downey (The Bible Series, Son Of God Movie). The Women of The Bible will retell stories from the Bible and feature interviews with “high profile women in the faith community”…

Sharing the stories of Eve, Sara, Rahab, Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary, “with new insights from some of today’s leaders and scholars in the faith community,” the network said.
