The series will be on The History Channel and will examine the facts behind some of history’s greatest “holy marvels,” including the Ark of the Covenant, Noah’s Ark, Jesus’ crown of thorns and more.
“Holy Marvels with Dennis Quaid“ premiers June 3 at 10 p.m. and it will take viewers on a journey through the fascinating stories behind these objects of faith, immortality and divine intervention. The eight-episode series is hosted, narrated and executive produced by the 70-year-old Quaid.
Quaid said, “This series is a unique opportunity for me to reinvest my religious interests and investigate the rich history of these holy marvels and the importance they hold for people around the globe.”
The series, produced by the A+E Factual Studios group, combines immersive storytelling with recreations, archival footage and expert interviews. Viewers will gain insights from historians, authors and professors of archeology and religious studies who shed light on the impact of these revered objects across various cultures and religions.
Eli Lehrer, executive vice president and head of programming for The History Channel, said Quaid brings “a unique combination of passion for the material and storytelling to the series.”
Quaid recently released a gospel album, Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners. He also starred in the inspirational sports drama “The Long Game.”
