In Episode 5 of The Promised Land ("Bones") Miriam sets out to join Moses’ new “law school,” while Aaron and Joshua go in search of the bones of Joseph (Exodus 13:19) and Chisisi tries to send news of his survival back to Egypt. Below I’ll give a brief summary of the episode and evaluate it as a Bible adaptation and a comedy.

In Episode 4 of The Promised Land we see the aftermath of Aaron’s disastrous decision to create a Golden Calf (Exodus 32), the transformation of Moses into a shining figure (Exodus 34:29-35), and the collection of an offering, and the call of Oholiab and Bezalel to construct the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:1-9, Exodus 31:1-11, Exodus 36:1-7).

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.

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.

What would you get if you crossed The Chosen with the animation and writing style of classic Disney (circa the 1990’s)? The Salvation Poem Project’s new animated Jesus film, Light of the World is about the closest we’ll ever get. The film follows John the Apostle, depicted as a child of about twelve or thirteen, as he encounters Jesus and follows him

Season 1 of The Promised Land, a show that follows the family of Moses on their way out of Egypt, using the mockumentary sitcom style of The Office or Abbott Elementary, will be released on October 1.

When news broke about The Carpenter’s Son, a Bible-adjacent horror film starring Nicolas Cage as Joseph and FKA Twigs as Mary, I felt torn. On the one hand, I value creative approaches to biblical adaptation and I enjoy the horror genre – I would love to see a Bible horror film done right. On the other hand, I couldn’t help but wonder: will this movie really be interested in exploring Scripture’s characters and world or will it intentionally disrespect its biblical source mat

Episodes 5-8 of Testament, Angel Studios’ contemporary adaptation of the Book of Acts, follow the increasing tension between the “early” church, Jewish fundamentalists, and the Temple establishment, leading up to the climactic confrontation between Stephen and the Sanhedrin.

Testament Episodes 2-4 continue to adapt the story of Acts, as the “early” church spreads and grows in a world where Jesus’ advent came much later, after the advent of modern technology and culture. Below I’ll offer a brief summary of the events of Testament Episode 2-4 and my thoughts on Angel’s new show.

What would the story of Acts and the birth of the church have looked like if it took place in a dystopian world with technology and culture similar to our own? This is the question posed by Angel Studios’ new Bible series, Testament. Episode 1 loses no time, launching immediately into the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit and the preaching of Peter at Pentecost
