Biblical Times is the Parkway's faith-based dinner theater: Bible stories staged with a signature effect no other Smokies theater uses — holograms, most famously the angels' wings, which the cast has learned to act alongside. Productions run six days a week, never on Sunday, as filmed. Half the property is a museum of Bible artifacts and exhibits that you can visit without a dinner ticket, and several films on this page tour that half in detail.

The Samuels' tour covers the burial cloth — 'the cloth that Jesus laid in' — nails, spears, and the seated presentations that walk Bible scenes in sequence. Barbara's guided tour dwells where the museum dwells: on the Shroud exhibit's argument, the carbon-dating controversy and the Moreno–Benford cotton-thread claim, addressed head-on by guide Ron. It is a believer's museum and the films present it as one.
The shows
The Christmas production gets the backstage film: Old English caroling in the first half, the Nativity story in the second, host Eddie explaining the holograms. Yankee in the South's 2019 visit caught the theater mid-expansion — construction, a planned new building — by invitation, with a practical aside that repeats across reviews: the gift shop's prices surprise people, in a good way, for the Parkway.

Two short performance films — the Biblical Times Singers' 'He's Alive!' from July 2020 and 'Fields of Grace' — are the theater's own musical record, and the theater's own trailer closes the page with its presentation of the dinner-show format.
