In Episode 3, Moses briefly comes down the mountain to deliver the new rules and bring the elders to meet God, before returning a third time to commune further with the Lord (Exodus 20-24) resulting in Aaron’s disastrous decision to create a Golden Calf (Exodus 32). Below I’ll give a brief summary of the episode and evaluate it as a Bible adaptation and a comedy.

After the action-packed opening to House of David Season 2, Episode 2 slows things down a bit in order to hammer home the cost of Israel’s victory and the ramifications it will have for David, the House of Saul, and other key figures. If you’re following along in Scripture, Season 2 Episode 2 is basically covering the start of David’s ascent through the Israelite military (1 Samuel 18:5) as well as the resulting drama in the House of Saul.

Episode 1 of House of David Season 2 picks up right where Episode 8 of Season 1 left off, with David’s triumph over Goliath and the ensuing battle between the Israelites and Philistines, followed by David's reunion with King Saul and Jonathan after the battle (1 Samuel 17:51-18:4). I’ll offer my initial review of Episode 1 below, but check back on October 5 for a detailed summary and an analysis of Episode 1’s key themes and ideas.

While maintaining a skillful balance between humor and biblical fidelity, Episode 2 “Sinai” picks up in Exodus 19 with Israel’s arrival at Mount Sinai, the people consecrating themselves for their upcoming encounter with God, God’s arrival in a thick cloud, and Moses’ first ascent up Mount Sinai. Below I’ll give a brief summary of the episode and evaluate it as both a Bible adaptation and a comedy.

While Christians who are categorically opposed to horror will still not be pleased, it's possible that Nic Cage's new Jesus horror film won't be the blasphemous mess that I feared it could be. Below I'll analyze the new teaser for The Carpenter's Son and share my thoughts on what it tells us about the film.

A new trailer just dropped for House of David Season 2, which premieres on October 5 on the Wonder Project subscription service on Amazon Prime. Season 2 will pick up with the aftermath of David's defeat of Goliath and follow David's ascent to commander of the Israelite army, his friendship with Jonathan, and his doomed romance with Mychal, all of which fuel Saul's violent envy and paranoia, eventually forcing David to go on the run as an outlaw.
