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?

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.
