I’d prefer they not be told by leftists intent on distorting them for their own purposes
Inaccurate as they may be, how does an attempt at telling a Bible story promote the leftist agenda?
What matter the intent or un intent if it exposes people to a heightened interest?
Understood. However any movie even the “Passion of the Christ” deviate from the Scriptures to add dramatic effect. Just look at those scenes where Pilate is conversing with his wife and the Roman soldiers are chatting with each other. I did not torpedo the movie for that given I knew it was a movie.
The ‘orthodox’ movies of the Bible which go verse by verse usually won’t find its way outside of a home DVD player, tablet or church movie night. I love this movie version of the Gospel of Matthew:

However, since it is verse by verse one cannot view in one sitting and may take two or three sittings to finish. It is mainly used by churches for Sunday school but there is some good acting involved. They even ‘flash’ the verses on the screen.
Again, such a production would not see the ‘dark’ of the movie theatre. Not even in the hay days of Ben Hur and King of Kings.
So perhaps the movie “Son of God” may wet the pallet of seekers and have them pick up the Bible to read, study seek.
