Hollywood Makes the Case for Teaching the Bible in Public School
The following essay was penned for The Wall Street Journal by our friends, Roma Downey and Mark Burnett.
As a friend of mine wrote on Facebook this morning, “All thoughtful, no thumping.”
But what do you think?

Why Public Schools Should Teach the Bible
Westerners cannot be considered literate without a basic knowledge of this foundational text.
By ROMA DOWNEY AND MARK BURNETT
The Wall Street Journal, March 1, 2013
Have you ever sensed in your own life that “the handwriting was on the wall”?
Exclusive Video Clip: The Bible
The highly anticipated five-week miniseries, The Bible, debuts this coming Sunday, March 3, on the History Channel.
Produced by Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice) and his wife Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel) the ten-hour presentation is a dramatic and ambitious project. It’s also a labor of love for the Burnetts, who began this endeavor with a noble and classically evangelistic goal: to encourage people to read the Bible.
Let’s face it – it takes some moxie to lift up the Bible in the middle of Hollywood.
Exclusive First Look: Saul from ‘The Bible’ Miniseries
We have an exclusive first look at Saul from The Bible, History Channel’s ten-part miniseries acting out the Bible.
If Saul could be converted, is there any doubt in your mind that anyone is beyond the reach of God?
Along with other faith-based outlets including Beliefnet, ChristianCinema.com, Christian Post, Crosswalk, and Hollywood Jesus, we bring you exclusive first looks at character art from the miniseries. Take a peek at Mary, the mother of Jesus, next at American Bible.
Have You Heard About What’s Going on in France?
At first glance it seems like a somewhat inconceivable notion: nearly 800,000 French citizens taking to the streets to protest the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Yet, that’s exactly what happened over this past weekend in Paris.
France’s socialist government plans to vote this year on a bill that would redefine marriage, but many of its citizens, both liberal and conservative, would rather the vote be put to the people, not left in the hands of a select few lawmakers.
The Obama Administration’s Real Problem Isn’t with Pastor Giglio
The controversy surrounding Pastor Louie Giglio’s invitation to pray at President Obama’s second inaugural sounds a familiar refrain in the ongoing and escalating debate about the expression of orthodox Christian faith in public life.
Yesterday, after a sermon surfaced in which Giglio referred to homosexuality as a “sin,” the spiritual leader to young people around the world “voluntarily” withdrew from the upcoming program. In response, the Presidential Inaugural Committee offered the following reaction:
We were not aware of Pastor Giglio’s past comments at the time of his selection, and they don’t reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this inaugural.
What I have in Common with Armstrong, Bonds and Clemens
People fascinate me.
The next time you’re in an airport or in a large public venue, take a moment to pause and just look around.
When I was a kid the television show Dragnet was a primetime hit. Each week the character Detective Joe Friday would open the show with the following observation:
There’s a million stories in the City of Los Angeles, and when politicians get themselves into trouble, I go to work. My name is Friday and I carry a badge.
Should Angus T. Jones Remain on “Two and a Half Men”?
Labeling a popular sitcom as “filth” is hardly news, unless the critique comes from one of its own stars.
Angus T. Jones plays the role of “Jake Harper” in the CBS program, “Two and a Half Men.” The 19-year-old actor created a firestorm this past Monday when he acknowledged that as a new Christian he’s grown disgusted with his participation in the program.
“I’m on ‘Two and a Half Men’ and I don’t want to be on it,” he told the Forerunner Chronicles, a media outlet which is part of an Alabama-based Church.
When Sport Imitates Life
I’ve never met him, but he strikes me as the kind of guy I’d love to have as my neighbor.
His name is Ed Anzalone. New York football fans know him as “Fireman Ed,” and he’s been enthusiastically leading chants at New York Jets games for years. With his distinctive green and white New York City fire helmet, and sitting on the shoulders of a friend, nobody does a better job at firing up a crowd than big Ed.
Have You Heard About this Christian Scandal?
What if I told you there’s a story circulating within the national media today about a controversial female Christian evangelist who’s wrapped up in a scandal of major proportions?
Would you be shocked?
Are you cringing right now, wondering who the “she” may be?
To be sure, the details of the story are sordid.
The married evangelist in question has been rumored to have had several extramarital affairs, even one with a well-known Hollywood celebrity. Known for her progressive theology, some have accused her of peddling feminist propaganda in the midst of her preaching.
