Last updated on: April 6, 2013 at 4:01 pm   By Peter T. Chattaway

It’s Passover this week, so it seemed like an opportune time to dust off and re-post the various articles I have written over the years on movies about Moses and the Exodus -- including an expanded edition of my 1999 survey of the genre for Bible Review. Read more

Last updated on: November 26, 2013 at 11:48 am   By Peter T. Chattaway

The third episode of The Bible -- which bridges the Old and New Testaments -- is a mixed bag like the others, but its treatment of Daniel and the Exile in Babylon is especially impressive. Read more

He played Jesus, now he might play Moses.

The Bible: second episode, first impressions

Last updated on: May 29, 2013 at 11:42 am   By Peter T. Chattaway

Another week, another episode of the mini-series The Bible. These are my first impressions of the second episode. The pacing, redux.
