"Superbook , also known as Animated Parent and Child Theatre (アニメ 親子劇場 Anime Oyako Gekijō?), is an anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Productions in Japan in conjunction with the Christian Broadcasting Network in the United States." (Opening sentence of the Wikipedia article about Superbook.)  It uses a children's science-fiction/time travel story to present stories from the Bible.  The first 26 episodes aired 1981-1982, and the second 26 in 1983.  A new computer generated image version of the series is being produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network.
