The conversion of Saul may be one of the best-known stories in the book of Acts, but it couldn\u2019t stop A.D. The Bible Continues<\/a><\/i> from slipping to new lows in the ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s episode \u2014 which featured Saul\u2019s dramatic encounter with Jesus<\/a> on the road to Damascus \u2014 scored a 0.7 rating in the key 18-49 demographic (down from 0.8 last week<\/a>), and it had only 4.3 million viewers overall (down from 4.8 million last week and the previous all-time low of 4.5 million the week before<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The series had 9.5 million viewers when it premiered seven weeks ago<\/a> and it has been shedding viewers ever since (except for a slight increase last week). Its predecessor, The Bible<\/a><\/i>, got between 10 and 13 million viewers per episode two years ago.<\/p>\n

Notably, The Bible<\/i> was shown on the History Channel, while A.D. The Bible Continues<\/i> is airing on NBC, a Big Three network with a much wider potential audience.<\/p>\n

As usual, the network has released a few new clips since last night\u2019s broadcast, though no substantial previews of next week\u2019s episode \u2014 yet. Instead, we have:<\/p>\n
