After so many flawed attempts at portraying the Gospel, it's so encouraging to encounter these exceptional efforts. You are a gifted reviewer--I enjoyed your perceptive takes on both The Chosen and Risen.

Your vivid description of your sudden insatiable hunger for devouring Scripture resonates profoundly in me. I was born again on Friday, October 7, 1977. During that weekend the Holy Spirit told me to take off work the next week and begin reading the Bible, so I did. On Monday morning I bought a Bible, and I set a goal of finishing the Old Testament by Christmas; instead, I finished both testaments by Thanksgiving! I've slowed down a bit since then, but I've never stopped.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. And I agree that it is refreshing to finally see quality cinematic representations of the Gospel narrative.

And this: instead, I finished both testaments by Thanksgiving!. I LOL'd. Totally get it. Once the Holy Spirit goes live inside you, there's no end to how much you can enjoy reading scripture.

Care to share any specifics about what you enjoyed so much about The Chosen? I'm going to re-watch Season 2 this week, probably.
