New Patheos Series, “The Bible Brief,” Unpacks the Patterns, Themes, and Life-Lessons Found in the Bible

Last updated on: July 29, 2021 at 2:51 pm By Patheos Editorial Team

Years ago, as a young Greek Orthodox kid, I remember my parish Priest standing up and saying to our congregation, “We’re Christians. We should read the Bible.” And then he added, almost as an afterthought, “Start with the New Testament. The Old Testament is hard!” If you’ve read the Bible, I’m sure you can relate! Whether you’re a Christian seeking to better understand your religion’s theology and sacred narratives, or a practitioner of another faith tradition just trying to be... Read more

New Patheos Series, “When We Die,” Explores Death, Grief, and Life-After-Death

Last updated on: July 2, 2021 at 9:01 am By Patheos Editorial Team

It might seem peculiar to think of death as something you can do well. But, in the end, there are few things we would want for ourselves and our loved ones more than a “good death.” Thinking about death as a journey, and not just a specific moment in time can help us to understand what it means to die well. But, as with any journey, one needs to prepare for it. “When We Die,” a new three-part video series... Read more

Sublime Cinema: Cool Hand Luke and Christ

Last updated on: April 13, 2021 at 9:12 am By Guest Contributor

By Zach Miller We know from the Bible that when pushed to his mental limit, Jesus was not above throwing tables over and chasing merchants with whips. But what was Christ’s position on chopping down parking meters? Released in 1967, Cool Hand Luke depicts prison camp ward, Luke Jackson, whose unconquerable spirit represents an intolerable aberration under the regime of the tyrannical camp staff. The film was an icon of late 1960’s cinema, and arguably the most iconic role for... Read more

Why ‘The Chosen’ is the Best On-Screen Depiction of the Life of Jesus Christ

Last updated on: February 19, 2021 at 12:47 pm By Lesli White

The Chosen is the first-ever multi-season show about the life of Jesus. One thing that distinguishes the series from previous portrayals of Jesus is that they are multi-season, episode-based stories. What is remarkable about The Chosen is that it was created outside of the Hollywood system. The writers capture the depth and richness of ancient sacred scripture while also helping viewers see Jesus beyond the Bible. There was great interest in the series from the beginning. The Chosen Productions partnered with VidAngel at... Read more

New Series on Patheos: “Excavating the History of the Bible: What Archeology Can Teach Us About the Biblical World”

Last updated on: February 12, 2021 at 12:23 pm By Guest Contributor

The Bible mentions a lot of people and places that have entered our collective cultural consciousness. For example, Joshua defeated the Canaanites at the battle of Jericho. David fought the Philistine warrior Goliath. King Ahab and his wife Jezebel sparred with the prophet Elijah. Some of these biblical stories have even become common cliches. However, less well known is the archaeology of the biblical world, the actual material remains of these cultures and places, and what they can tell us... Read more

It’s a Weird Year for Movies

Last updated on: October 21, 2020 at 9:09 pm By Deseret News

The 2020 box office numbers are striking. One quick look at the list shows a weird assortment of movies that came out before the pandemic and ones that were hits in 2019 — since there were so few movies released before the pandemic hit. Only two films released in the pandemic era — “Tenet” and “The New Mutants” — made the list, and they’re not even within the top five for the United States. Here’s a rundown of the films. These are... Read more
