From Ben-Hur to The Passion of the Christ, Jesus has been one of cinema’s most frequently reinvented figures.

But these portrayals tell us just as much about modern culture, theology, and power as they do about the ancient near East.

πŸŽ™οΈ New episode!

This week Dr Katie Turner explores the complex β€” sometimes contentious β€” world of β€œJesus films”.

It’s funny how this guy is (rightly) condemned by Farage, but Lucy Connelly got invited to their conference and labelled a political prisoner

We lost my darling grandad on 26th July. Today his beloved football club, Faversham Town FC, said goodbye to their president in a really special way. I felt very proud to be his granddaughter and to see what he meant to so many people.

Petition for the next Bond film to be set in the 1960s: we don’t need another modern action film, Bond died in the last one so it’s a good time for a reset, and the most popular Bond film in recent times was Casino Royale which really leaned into the nostalgia of old Bond
