‘The Secret of Kells’’ was the wild card in the recent Oscar animation race — the little Irish movie no one had heard of‚ let alone seen. Call it luck or a brilliant promotional strategy‚ but the movie opens at the Kendall today with local animaniacs primed to happily pounce. As well they should‚ for “Kells’’ is a visually overwhelming labor of love‚ a hand-drawn medieval adventure tale that seeks and finds cosmic connections. Yes‚ you can still bring the kids. The hero of “Kells’’ is Brendan

The Gospel of Mary inspired the monologue of Mary Magdalene as Jesus’ sister. To me‚ it became clear that Mary had known the secrets of Jesus and Jesus treated her the greatest‚ since they were siblings and best friends‚ not lovers. I took the connection I had made and used it as the association of Mary Magdalene in the gospels. Mary Magdalene traveled with Jesus when he proclaimed the Kingdom of God‚ she was present with the mother of Jesus during his crucifixion‚ and she was present at the tomb

Not Another Jew Story Everyone has their own conception of Jesus‚ what he was‚ what he did‚ and why he did it‚ yet these conceptions are often different than the one depicted by the earliest written account of Jesus’ life‚ “The Gospel of Mark.” The Jesus in Mark has one main purpose‚ to forgive humans’ sins through his teachings. Jesus will not deviate much from his goal for the sake of momentary good and his teachings are quite radical. This is a big part of the reason why he gets crucified

Salome Salome‚ the Daughter of Herodias (c. AD 14 – between 62 and 71)‚ is known from the New Testament (Mark 6:17-29 and Matthew 14:3-11). Her name means "peace". Christian traditions depict her as an icon of dangerous female seductiveness‚ notably in regard to the dance mentioned in the New Testament‚ which is thought to have had an erotic element to it‚ and in some later transformations it has further been iconized as the Dance of the Seven Veils. Herod’s lust for Salome is emphasized‚ which

esus‚ the Heavenly Comforter The Gospel passage from Mark 10:2-16 appears at first glance to be two unrelated stories‚ but there is a connection between the two of them. Both stories tell us how Jesus cares for the outcasts and the less fortunate in society and how he expects us to treat them. In Old Testament times‚ children and women were on the lower levels of society. Women were seen as nothing more than property‚ and children were considered to be useless until they were old enough to help

John clearly had an evangelistic aim (Jn 20:31)‚ but Matthew wrote his gospel for the church‚ for those who already follow Jesus. It is a teaching gospel‚ which arranges its material into subjects‚ summarising the teaching of Jesus and illustrating it with examples from his life. Matthew’s is the only gospel that mentions the church (16:18; 18:17)
