    Why Context Matters in Retellings? | Pride and Prejudice Devotional

    Have you ever read a modern retelling of a classic book, like Pride and Prejudice, and felt it completely missed the point? Today on Geek Devotions, we're talking about why context changes everything, both in our favorite literature and when we study Scripture! In this episode, Celeste shares her honest (and maybe a little brutal) thoughts on the 2013 retelling, Eligible. We dive into why removing a story from its original timeframe can completely change its core message, and discuss the big difference between seeing yourself in a story versus projecting your own prejudices onto it. More importantly, we explore how this exact same "retelling" problem happens when we open our Bibles without looking at the historical context. Question of the Week: What is your LEAST favorite retelling of a classic story? (We're looking at you, modern Wuthering Heights adaptations...) Let’s talk about it in the comments! If you enjoyed this, do us a favor: hit the like button, hit the subscribe button, and know that you are loved and cared for! Stay devoted. Peace and love. 💙 THANK YOU TO OUR PATRONS We are so thankful to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who help make this ministry possible: Ruiz Family, Adam Arciniega, Branson Boykin, Nerd Chapel, Jacob Russell, Jeffrey Leon, Jonathan Herrman, Kevin Lovelace, Lady Lomax, Paul Turner, Paul J Powers, Savie Wilson, The Cel Cast, Monster Island Film Vault — and so many more.
