I recently highlighted a list of significant religious documentaries released in the past decade. Well…it looks like I missed one, but perhaps so did many of you. Thankfully, Lord Save Us From Your Followers will re-release in theaters on February 26. I had the opportunity to host two screenings of it as part of the [...]
Check out Richard Lindsay’s review of the Israeli film, The Bubble (2006), after the jump.
In their book, Transforming Christian Theology for Church and Society, Tripp Fuller and Philip Clayton argue for the necessity of local congregations to connect the work they do with deep, sustained theological reflection. I have been thinking about other areas of life that should be linked with deep theological reflection, and for me one of [...]
In 2009, there were two (post)apocalyptic films…that I am aware of, The Road and 2012. Both took drastically different approaches to an age old theme, though neither of them were particularly fresh approaches. 2010 starts off with its own post-apocalyptic film in The Book of Eli. There’s much here that is similar to its predecessors, [...]
Many of the films that focus on the war in Iraq look at the effects of the war on soldiers returning from battle, think In the Valley of Elah, Brothers, Stop-Loss, etc. Few films have yet to consistently place audiences in the heat of battle. One of the most recent films to do so is [...]

Yesterday, I came across two other theological responses to the quake, one by Al Mohler that is almost as offensive as Robertson’s and another by Paul Raushenbush that is somewhat more [...]
Although it might not sound like it, Stephen T. Asma’s latest book, On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears, is one of the most theologically compelling texts I have read in quite a while. It lends a certain credence to my advisor’s frequent assertions that the genres of horror and the supernatural are [...]
At the first Transforming Theology Conference last year, Tripp Fuller and I videoed the participants answering a select group of theological questions from a pool submitted online. These questions included, “Who is God,” “Does God Do Anything,” “What Did God Do in Jesus That We Couldn’t Do for Ourselves,” “What is Truth?” By far, one [...]
Stephen King is not often known for brevity, and his most recent novel, Under the Dome, is no exception. Clocking in at 1072 pages, it’s a commitment that ends, not too soon, but all too quickly.
As Richard and I mentioned in our review of some of the most spiritually and theologically significant films of the decade, the ‘aughts were a particularly good decade for documentaries. Interestingly enough, some of the best documentaries addressed religious subject matter. Here is a list of ten significant religious documentaries of the decade.
