I love this movie so very much! Merry Christmas!!!
This seems like a good opportunity to share one of my favourite podcast episodes I worked on.
Are Christmas movies secular? Is *Christmas* secular? @josephscales.bsky.social and I talk it over:
Next week I'll be giving a live webinar on "What Did Jesus Wear?" for Religion for Breakfast.
Come along for a fun intro to the wonderful world of ancient textiles, Jewish dress behaviour, and why knowing about any of this matters.

I love this discussion. It's a lot of the same reasons I make sure to provide a range of linked sources for every episode of @godmovpod.bsky.social
An example:

I'll have to think about how to integrate this into other (published) work as well.
What’s more objectionable:
Blonde, blue-eyed Jesus?
or, Blonde, blue-eyed Adam & Eve?

ICYMI my review of THE CHOSEN: LAST SUPPER - PART 1
biblefilms.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-...
Quite something to hear @goodacre.bsky.social say that The Last Supper (2025) is more problematic than Gibson's PotC (2004). It's a must-listen review.
"You have to be thoughtful about the way that you depict blame for Jesus' death" - 💯
You better believe we'll also be commenting on this film.

Vc sabia q dá pra saber muito da ótica de um filme pelo figurino? @drkatieturner.bsky.social explica como um véu azul faz toda a diferença
Did you know that we can tell a lot about the perspective of a film by its costumes? @drkatieturner.bsky.social explain how a blue veil makes all the difference
Some really great-sounding articles here.
Thanks Joan!
ooo! That's motivation to get through the episodes (which actually aren't that bad as these things go).
The costuming in House of David is giving typology.

The Old Testament is NOT the Jewish Bible.
So what is it?
This quote is too relevant far too often
Yes please!!
The work of historical fiction contains...*gasp*...fiction?!?
Excuse us while we clutch our pearls in surprise.
Reviving the thread with this perfect addition.
First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 1: disappointment
First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 2: identifying Chalcidian helmet, awfully grey costuming, but actual Mycenaean-looking frescos. Bout - bracers?!
First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 3: suggestions of Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic pottery portrayals used, all anachronistically showing Trojan war scenes in contemporary armour
First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 4: actual examples of Mycenaean period-specific armour
First-look Matt Damon as Odysseus - costume (notes from a nerd)
The Old Testament is NOT the Jewish Bible.
So what is it?
No-one here seems to have mentioned that LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is playing at Leicester's Phoenix cinema on Sunday, on their biggest screen. So I thought I would just in case there are any mega fans of it out thre.
I'm starting to get quite excited (though hoping I don’t nod off too much).
Did a paralegal named Sophia Stewart actually write The Terminator and The Matrix? And are these films actually about Jesus?
On the first question the answer is simple: No.
On the second, well, it depends on your perspective...

You can also hear Dr King-Ho Leung talk to us about the nature of reality, what it means to be masters of our own fate, and how The Matrix (1999) can illuminate classical, philosophical, and theological ideas.

While you're here, why not check out our episode on The Terminator (1984), featuring @ntright.bsky.social ?
We learn about nuclear-anxiety films, why apocalypses are all about looking backwards, and whether James Cameron actually wrote a sci-fi Nativity.

Been thinking about our episode on The CRUCIBLE (1996) and McCarthyism a lot recently - must be something in the air.
We have a number of short readings and related resources on our website, to support teaching/learning about this totally random and not remotely relevant period in history.
This, from @drkatieturner.bsky.social, is an excellent summary the problems of translating the text of the Bible into a visual film.
