‘Risen’ and The Power Of Miraculous Realism

The film “Risen” is fantastical, realistic, and explores Bible themes other “Christian movies” can’t or won’t.
— E. Stephen Burnett in Mar 2016 —

Story Weariness

I’ve had other instances of story weariness, which I guess I’ll define as familiarity with a story to the point that another rendition seems needless and unappealing.

On CAPC: Exodus: Gods, Kings, and Evangelical Headcanon

When we react to Bible movies, do we confuse Scripture for our often-nostalgic memories of its details?
— E. Stephen Burnett in Aug 2014 —

Evangelizing Entertainment

I’d tend to evaluate the movie Noah like any speculative fiction story in relation to my faith: What picture of God and man is painted for me when taken as a whole?

Noah, Speculative Fiction, And The Biblical Narrative

Not every Biblical account lends itself well to fictionalization. The backbone of fiction is conflict. While there certainly is a fair amount of conflict in the various individual narratives in Scripture, some are nothing more than a snapshot of God working.

Will Poor Adaptation Sink Aronofsky’s ‘Noah’ Film?

“Noah†can tweak details but must keep the Story’s true themes.

Story Shutdowns

This may be unfair, but some themes, phrases, or single words in story descriptions make me instantly shut down.

Resurrection, Part 2: Christ Is Risen

Divine energy courses through His dead body. Light blazes. His heart beats. Tissues repair and muscles tighten. Some wounds vanish; five others stay as evidence. Resurrection begins.
— E. Stephen Burnett in Mar 2013 —

Speculative Antichrist

There’s a website called “The Top 100 Things I’d Do If I Ever Became an Evil Overlord.†In that spirit do I compose my list of things the Antichrist should avoid or implement.

Secrets Of The ‘Firebird’ Story

“Daystar†author Kathy Tyers shares the connection between her now-concluded “Firebird†series and the real world.

Retelling Biblical Stories For A Modern Audience, Part 2

The ancient Jews loved to retell their Bible stories with embellishments. And they did so, not with a disdain for “the facts of history,†but rather with deep respect for the original message as they understood it.
— Brian Godawa in Nov 2011 —

Retelling Biblical Stories For A Modern Audience, Part 1

The Bible doesn’t fear pagan imagination. Rather, it subverts and redeems it, using its motifs and baptizing them with altered subversive definitions that support Yahweh the true God against the false god Baal and other pagan deities in the ancient Near East.
— Brian Godawa in Nov 2011 —

Vampires Anyone? Part III

Eric Wilson did present the gospel message in Field of Blood. His protagonist just wasn’t ready to hear it yet.
