‘A.D: The Bible Continues’: Juan Pablo Di Pace Strips Down Jesus (Part 1)

Last updated on: April 19, 2015 at 4:02 pm By Kate O'Hare

“It’s very different than anything else I’ve done,” said Argentinean actor Juan Pablo Di Pace, who plays Jesus in the 12-episode NBC series “A.D.: The Bible Continues,” premiering Easter Sunday, April 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. “I was talking before about the simplicity of approaching it and stripping everything away, because you owe it to Him. That honesty has to be there. The openness, the way that He communicated these huge concepts in such a beautiful and simple way.” Produced... Read more

‘A.D.: The Bible Continues’: Will There Be a Season Two?

Last updated on: April 3, 2015 at 4:55 pm By Kate O'Hare

Back in January, when I was talking to “The Bible” producers and spouses Mark Burnett and Roma Downey about “A.D.: The Bible Continues” — click here for that — Burnett dropped a line that, when I was transcribing the interview recently, caught my attention. So, I emailed him to ask about this: The great thing would be, for “A.D.,” if it ran several years. It would really be great. I didn’t get an answer — and that often means that... Read more

A.D.: The Bible Continues’: Mainstreaming Faith (Video)

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 10:28 am By Kate O'Hare

Over at CatholicVote, I have part one of a conversation with Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, executive producers of NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues,” premiering on Easter — Sunday, April 5 — at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. One of their goals (achieved, at least in part, because it’s on NBC) is to bring Biblical stories into popular entertainment: After their huge personal promotional push for “The Bible,” which aired on History Channel at Eastertime in 2013, and then the...

‘American Idol’s’ Clark Beckham: Busking, Joey and Marriage Proposals (Part 2)

Last updated on: March 31, 2015 at 9:12 pm By Kate O'Hare

Before he was a contestant on “American Idol,” Clark Beckham used to be a “busker,” a street singer, in Nashville, Tennessee. You’ve all seen them, those people, playing guitars or saxophones or something else, or just singing, with a hat or an instrument case or a basket in front of them, collecting tips from passers-by. I met Beckham at an “American Idol” party a couple of weeks ago — click here for that — and then we got on the phone on... Read more

On Wednesday, April 1, the remaining Top 9 performers from Season 14 of Fox’s “American Idol” once again jockey for votes and position, as they explore the songbook of Season One winner Kelly Clarkson.

Bono’s Bold Pronouncement on Christ

Last updated on: March 31, 2015 at 4:08 pm By Kate O'Hare

As reported by GlennBeck.com, U2 frontman Bono, never shy about his personal faith, gave an interview to RTÉ One in his native Ireland, in which he made this statement about Jesus: It’s a defining question for Christians. Who was Christ? I don’t think you’re let off easily by saying He was a great thinker or great philosopher. Because, actually, He went around saying He was the Messiah. That’s why He was crucified. He was crucified because He was the Son... Read more

CBS Offers a Women’s View of Masada in ‘The Dovekeepers’ (Video)

Last updated on: March 31, 2015 at 4:49 pm By Kate O'Hare

It’s not right to call the story of the Roman siege of the plateau fortress Masada in Israel a Bible tale, since it took place in 70 A.D., and is obviously not recorded in the Old Testament, and doesn’t involve the founding of the Christian faith related in the New. But it an epic and tragic event that continues on with the struggle between the First Century Jews and their Roman overlords, which also plays out in the Passion narrative... Read more

‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and the Theology of the Body (Video)

Last updated on: March 30, 2015 at 10:09 pm By Kate O'Hare

In modern society, the distinctive aspects of male and female often become blurred, with the unique beauty of each sex reduced to a bland androgyny. But, every now and then, something traditional survives, and we are reminded of what Saint Pope John Paul II taught in the “Theology of the Body,” that men and women are the two dimensions of a shared humanity — equal in dignity but very different in expression. I got a lesson in that not long... Read more
