For or Against the State? The Hebrew Bible and the Establishment 11 Aug 2013 | 10:02 pm
I've been having another look at Amos recently, in particular reading Dow Kirkpatrick's interesting Bible study guide to the book that bears his name. In contrast, one of my churches is returning to ...
The Kingdom of Israel: Part 2 18 Jul 2013 | 03:12 pm
One of the most interesting things about the Hebrew Bible is the emergence of different voices offering conflicting opinions, sometimes even within the same book. Arguably one of the most divisive iss...
The Bible (2013) - Part 7 16 Jun 2013 | 12:24 am
I've been slowly posting a few bits and pieces on The History Channel's The Bible as I work my way through the blurays and I thought as this was the episode based on Jesus' ministry it was the one per...
The Bible (2013) - Part 6* 31 May 2013 | 02:03 am
I've not written a great deal about The History Channel's miniseries The Bible yet mainly because it's not due to air in the UK until the autumn and no-one thought it would be worth sending me a previ...
The Kingdom of Israel: Part 1 28 May 2013 | 01:47 am

Ishmael in Film - Part 2 23 Apr 2013 | 02:19 am
This is the the second of two posts about Ishmael in film. The first, it turns out, was rather error strewn, and anyone with any decency would have gone and made the corrections and added the labels a...
The Passion, Last Supper, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ 21 Apr 2013 | 02:30 pm
Possibly the longest ever title for a Bible film, this cartoon is part of the "Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible" series. I believe it was originally released as simply as The Passion, Last Sup...
Ishmael in Film - Part 1 10 Apr 2013 | 01:47 am
One of the characters who appeared in the History Channel's latest series The Bible was Ishmael, Abraham's first son by Hagar. Abraham in general hasn't appeared in that many films. As far as I'm awar...
