    A cinematic conversion - do film and TV Biblical dramas change hearts?

    A cinematic conversion - do film and TV Biblical dramas change hearts?

    Are you one of the many thousands tuning into the Netflix series The Chosen? The multi-season series tells the life and ministry of Jesus and the people he encountered throughout his life. Set in the times of Roman oppression in Palestine, we learn about Mary Magdalene, Thaddeus, Little James, the fishermen, Simon, Andrew, Big James and John; who they were and who they became when they followed the Messiah.
    Season 4 is out now to widespread acclaim and that led us to think, what impact, if any, do great Biblical dramas have beyond their entertainment value or are they a priceless way to propagate the Gospels in a modern age?
    From the 10 Commandments, Jesus of Nazareth to the Greatest Story Ever Told, there's a plethora of great and not so great cinema and tv dramas - so do they make a difference?
    Presenter Claire Graham in conversation with academic Dr Leon Litvack from Queen's University, avid filmgoer Liz Kennedy, Moravian minister Reverend Dr Livingstone Thompson, and situation comedy writer and lay preacher James Cary.

Balance without Prejudice

This is among my favorite ethics podcasts. Even though it focuses primarily on events in Northern Ireland, its approach allows the listeners to generalize the discussions to their own local situations. In particular I appreciate the non-deferential treatment given to both religion and secular philosophies. Neither deserves special treatment, but rather need to exist (and change) within the scrutiny of the public. Bravo!

Excellent!

Thoughtful and insightful discussions of science and religion. Critical thought and reason are the real guidelines here, not dogma.
