A few days ago when I was talking about Adam and Eve, my teenage son remarked that in school (a Catholic school, no less) he was taught that Adam and Eve were mytholocial, not real. I told him I thought they were both, first real , then typological, and eventually mythological. I had forgotten a key bit of information to share with my son. My pastor reminded me of it yesterday.
The college students Kathleen and I met when we were invited by Dartmouth College’s Tucker Foundation to show my film, A New Life, were delightfully passionate, thoughtful, kind, and seeking the Lord. But they seemed different from other Christians we have known. Reading Why We’re Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be) (Chicago: Moody Publishers, 2008) by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck may help explain how and why.
My film “A New Life”, based on the short story by Mary Ward Brown, has been chosen as one of five films to be shown at The 2008 Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival(BCIFF) Short Film category, August 7-9, 2008 in Houston, TX.
To God be the Glory and praise for such talented collaborators. With them, ( and my dear wife, Kathleen) a $500.00 budget can go a long way!
In Shakespeare’s Henry VI, as Jack Cade’s gang of comic villains are plotting the overthrow of the king, they discuss the utopia they hope to establish. The outlaw Dick the Butcher advises, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
The line brought down the house.
But today, I salute one new lawyer, and ask God to grant him a long and healthy life free from the machinations of any Dick the Butchers.
“The farmer’s daughter” has been a symbol of female innocence and virginal beauty. The daughter of the Farmer family, the mid-twentieth century actress Frances, has been the subject of books and a film, Frances. Her story, both fictional and biographical, demonstrates that no one, however hard she may try, may escape the saving grace of God.
Consistently on top of the list of best American films, Citizen Kane is hailed as an exposition of the hollowness of the American dream—financial affluence and material luxury. Perhaps Orson Welles’ film receives its power from another earlier, exposition - human beings cannot create the Paradise they have lost.
Whenever the relationship between the media and Christianity is raised, the name of Marshall McLuhan is close behind. In addition to being a pioneer in the history of the media’s influence on culture, Mr. McLuhan was a devout Christian.
