Congratulations to my friend Steven D. Greydanus. His review of The Passion of the Christ was persuasive for Roger Ebert when that film was released. Now, his review of The Last Temptation has proven useful to Ebert as well. There’s a reason that Greydanus is my favorite writer among Christians who review movies. He’s really, really good.

When you say that The Bible is true, do you mean… literally?¬†I’m thrilled to see that Mark Shea has begun a series on rediscovering how the early church read The Bible. The series begins here. It should be a very stimulating series, with Shea at the helm. There aren’t many voices in Christian writing as engaging, witty, and revealing as Shea’s.

I’ll be there. Will you? It’s drummer Jay Bellerose’s birthday. Do you need another reason to be there? (No false advertising. She’s wearing that outfit today.) (Well, she may change for the show, I suppose… but at this point in the day…) Read more

I’m still waiting to hear young Ezra Ribera’s response to Cyndere’s Midnight. I may be waiting for a while. But I have been hearing from others. My thanks to the reviewers who are sharing their experiences of Cyndere’s Midnight. (more…) Read more

[This is an “Extended Edition” of the article originally published at Christianity Today. – Those Who Have Ears to Hear… Let Them Watch Three documentaries bring cultures and conflict to life through music.  I must have been about one year old when I first heard the merry, musical words “I’d like to teach the world to sing / in perfect harmony” coming from my family’s black-and-white television.
