About the show
This four-part radio series is a light-hearted look at the Bible according to Hollywood. Presenter and producer Gerry McArdle reminisces on his life-long love affair with biblical epics in the company of Irish Times film critic Donald Clarke, Assistant Director of the Irish Film Institute Grainne Humphreys and theological lecturer, ethicist and film correspondent for "The Furrow" Barry McMillan.
Gerry McArdle invites listeners to enjoy extracts from and analysis of the scriptures on celluloid, from Cecil B. De Mille's "The Ten Commandments" to Mel Gibson's controversial "The Passion of the Christ." Along the way listen, also, for alternative treatments of religious themes, such as "Jesus of Montreal", "The Life of Brian" and "The Last Temptation of Christ."
