From contributing writer Paul Marchbanks: During my trip to Rome last fall to visit the set of The Faithful, I realized quickly that Fox Entertainment cared deeply about selling this show. A limo ride from the airport, lavish dinners, a hotel with an upstairs view of the Vatican, individual trailer dressing rooms on location for my peers in the Christian press—all of it signaled a firm commitment to a show that, if made ten years ago, might have been relegated to a back and dusty corner of their release schedule. |
|
The sets, costumes, and hired actors were all top-notch. Any concerns about casting faded once I knew Minnie Driver was playing Sarah and the inimitable Alexa Davalos (see The Man in the High Castle) would be Rebekah. The lingering question concerned whether the show would honor Scripture. |
|
As with predecessors like The Chosen, audience opinion will vary, but what I can commend is the expressed intentions of its showrunner, René Echevarria. Before I knew it, discussion of his faith journey amid the travails of Hollywood—interrupted by my requisite geeking out about his work on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—became a brainstorming session about a pitch he was currently developing for a Screwtape Letters television show. The conversation, continued across two days, made clear his determination to bring Christian content to a wider audience in smart and compelling ways. More than limo rides, that interview made a long trip worthwhile. |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
