Dramatic Biblical Blockbusters

A lion prowls, his shadow an ominous hint at the danger that is about to befall the prisoner. A man mutters a faithful prayer in a wizened voice. Four kings stand tall and powerful.

No, I haven’t been privy to a very early preview of the next season of Game of Thrones, nor am I watching a Hollywood blockbuster with a $370 million production fee.

This is the Book of Daniel, a powerful new Biblical drama depicting not just the Lion’s den but whole book, from Daniel teenhood to his rise to influence, his faith amongst an age of false prophecies and the plotting of his jealous rivals.

The presentation is stunning: powerful scenes and high-impact drama are a far-cry from the cheesy, low-budget affairs some have come to expect from Christian film.

It’s just the beginning of an age of fantastic Biblical dramas. This month also sees the release of Paul Apostle Of Christ DVD.

A story of courage and faith that defied an empire, Paul Apostle of Christ is a dramatic account of the life of Paul and the early church. It brings to life the dangers early Christians faced, and the effect of their courage that can be felt to this day.

Paul Apostle Of Christ is from the same studio that brought us War Room and Risen, so expect high-thrills, rousing soundtracks and an inspirational takeaway message.
