Bible Epic
Bible Epic tells the Bible's stories as they are written, and some of them are hard. This page names every scene with violence or seduction, so you can choose what to show and when. Nothing in Bible Epic shows blood close up, a wound, nudity or sex. The episodes are made and voiced with AI and follow the Bible's text; lines the Bible does not record are dramatized.
On Google Play the app is rated for teens. That rating covers the whole app.
Esther, Esther 2 to 8
Suggested age: 10 and up with an adult, 13 and up alone.
- Episode 1. It opens with Haman on his knees, begging the queen for his life (Esther 7:7). Soldiers take Esther from her home at dawn and push Mordecai to the ground; no blow, blood or wound is shown. In the women's house the other women mock her. Esther says each woman spent one night with the king and did not return unless he called her by name (Esther 2:14); nothing of it is shown. The king crowns her queen.
- Episodes 2 to 48 are added to this list before each one opens.
Later in the passage, before those episodes open: a plot to kill the Jews; Haman is hanged; battles.
Joseph, Genesis 37 to 50
Suggested age: 10 and up with an adult, 13 and up alone. Next on Bible Epic; this is what its first eight episodes hold.
- Episode 1. The brothers talk about killing Joseph. Nothing is shown.
- Episode 2. Two brothers seize Joseph, tear off his coat and throw him into a dry pit. No blow is shown.
- Episode 3. Joseph is sold, roped to a saddle and pulled away crying. A goat is heard off screen, and his coat is dipped in a bowl of dark liquid; later the stained coat is shown. No animal and no wound are shown.
- Episode 4. His master's wife takes a liking to him. She looks and talks; nothing more.
- Episode 5. She tries to seduce him and grabs his garment; he refuses and runs, leaving the cloth in her hand, and she accuses him falsely. He loses only his shoulder cloth; there is no kiss and no nudity.
- Episode 6. Joseph is pushed into prison. No blow is shown.
- Episode 7. The baker is put to death, as Joseph foretold. Only a tipped bread basket and birds are shown.
- Episode 8. Pharaoh's dream of thin cattle swallowing fat ones. No blood.
Genesis 38, Judah and Tamar, is not in episodes 1 to 8.
The Nativity, Matthew 1 to 2 and Luke 1 to 2
Suggested age: all ages with an adult.
Mary is found pregnant before her marriage, and Joseph plans to send her away quietly. Matthew 2 tells how Herod ordered the killing of the boys of Bethlehem; every scene of it is named here, episode by episode, before that part of the series opens.
Series still to come
Each series gets its own list here before it opens. What the passages hold, so you can plan:
- Moses. Pharaoh orders baby boys drowned; Moses kills an Egyptian; the plagues; the death of the firstborn; an army drowns.
- Ruth. Three husbands die; Ruth lies at Boaz's feet at night.
- Samson. Battles; Delilah's betrayal; his eyes are put out.
- David and Saul. Goliath; battles; David and Bathsheba, and her husband's death.
- Daniel. The fiery furnace; the lions' den.
- Jacob. Deceit between brothers; two wives.
- Jezebel. The killing of prophets; her own violent death.
