This week on the Bible Artist Podcast, Kevin is joined by Bible film scholar Matthew Page of Bible Films Blog to discuss the history of Bible cinema and the ways in which The Chosen is both innovative and a continuation of existing trends in Bible films. Along the way, they also discuss: the best Bible films you've probably never seen, the value of being exposed to diverse portrayals of Jesus, similarities between The Chosen and the first silent Bible films, why controversy seems to follow not just The Chosen but every Bible film, and how the current wave of Bible shows (House of David, Testament, etc) is similar to and different from past waves of Bible films.#thechosentvseries #thechosenseason5 #lastsupper #jesus #bibleshow #biblemovies #christianshowinsights #houseofdavid #testament Support The Bible ArtistMore from Matthew Page:Bible Films Blog100 Bible Films (Amazon Affiliate Link)The Life of Jesus in 38 FilmsGospel According to Matthew CommentaryMore from The Bible ArtistThe Bible Artist Reviews of The Chosen, House of David, & Testament

Does The Chosen help instruct our imagination and emotions like CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, or is it an idolatrous violation of the Second Commandment? Kevin is joined by Justin Dillehay, Pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Hartsville, Tennesee and regular contributor to The Gospel Coalition, to discuss The Chosen from a pastoral and theological perspective. In defending how The Chosen depicts Jesus visually, Pastor Dillehay compares the show's depiction of Jesus to CS Lewis' depiction of Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia. Even so, he urges Christians to maintain unity in the face of the polarized responses to The Chosen.
