The movie Noah is out on dvd and the reverberating effects of the film are still echoing within the church, as people watch, wonder and react. I am not really surprised.
Darren Aronofsky’s "Noah" is an epic reimagining of a biblical myth.
It is the reimagining (not so much the myth) that has troubled certain kinds of Christians who have engaged in their predictable practice of critiquing a film without taking the time to see it.
When Hollywood makes a movie about a Biblical story it isn’t long before hackles are raised among those who insist that the stories of creation, flood and exile are historically accurate rather than mythic memories of a pre-literate past that while truthful, may not be factual.
