Review: When you think biblical there is no movie star that fits the bill more than the late Charlton Heston.  Before he was a gun rights fanatic he was a leading man in some classic films, like the Ten Commandments.  He's the natural choice to host this four part series that explores the locales in the bible and gives the backround stories involving each.  This one would be a must-have for anyone religious.
