Fr. Peter’s Tales from the Madhouse Pick This series brings the Gospels to life in a new way that sends viewers eagerly back to the Scriptural text. Set inside the crumbling walls of a dilapidated Victorian sanato- rium, eight mysterious characters reveal their secret stories to the visiting camera. The eight are linked by one crucial, unifying event in their lives: each of them has had an encounter with Jesus of Nazareth but turned away—an experience that has left an indelible mark. Here we meet contemporary versions of familiar characters found in the Gospels: Barabbas, a fellow prisoner of Jesus who was spared crucifixion; Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus; a servant girl, who meets Jesus the night before his death; the duty-bound centurion, and others. The characters brushed with Jesus in some way but missed their moment. Now they are haunted by the memory of what was and what might have been. Though we never see Jesus, the characters reveal much about his personality, mission, and ministry. Many people are responding to this video who have long turned a deaf ear to the more traditional methods of proclaiming Christian truth. These programs come from an intriguing perspective and evoke a powerful response. (EST, bios, and PDF guide).

WORLD HISTORY AND RELIGIONS

History of Christianity Here is an understandable overview of the great drama of the unfolding of Christianity. Presenter for the award-winning six-part series is Dr. Timothy George, historian and Dean of Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School. The approach is interdenominational in spirit and content, respect- ing the unique and varied roles of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions. Six 30-minute parts: PART I: The Early Church — Follow the Early Church as she emerges from the womb of Judaism to survive persecution and become established in the Roman world. PART II: The Church in the Middle Ages — During this period, universities, monasteries, and museums were established. The Church also joined in influencing society, but with difficulty. PART III: The Reformation Era — The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century was a call for spir- itual and ecclesial renewal. How did the Roman Catholic Church respond? PART IV: The Age of Reason and Piety — The Christian world experienced a major shift from an “age of faith” to an “age of reason.” PART V: Christianity in the New World — America was the land of new beginnings. This period includes the study of great traditions such as the Puritans and Quakers. PART VI: Christian Movement in an Age of Uncertainty — From the fall of Bastille in 1789 to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, study the Christian movement in an age of uncertainty.

Today, there are approxi- mately seven million Muslims and more than 13,000 mosques in North America. Now that Muslims are our neighbors, how do we talk to them about Christ? Which beliefs do we share in common with Muslims and where do we differ from them? Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad? Noted theologian Dr. Timothy George teams with award-winning producer-director T. N. Mohan to answer these and other basic questions in this visually rich four-part collection. The series avoids the angry condemnation of all Muslims on the one hand, and compromising Christian truth- claims on the other. Muslim views are stated fairly and objectively by Muslim scholars who appear in the series. The programs set forth basic and foundational dif- ferences between Christianity and Islam and the implications for how we understand God, Christ, and the meaning of salvation.

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES Somebody’s Daughter More than half the men in the admit they have used pornography. What was once considered obscene is now a multi-billion dollar industry, increasingly accepted within mainstream culture. The internet with its accessibility, anonymity, and affordabil- ity, has raised pornography addiction to epidemic levels, exploiting men, women, and children along the way and destroying intimacy, marriages and families, while distorting our understanding of sex and sexuality. In Somebody’s Daughter, you meet four men who could be your neighbors. They were looked up to by wives, children, church folk. But porn was secretly eating each of them alive, just like it’s eating millions in the world today. You will also meet a woman devastated by her hus- band’s use of porn. The groundbreaking DVD/CD, Somebody’s Daughter, confronts the darkness and lies of this alluring vice with compelling honesty. Interviews, personal stories, songs, music videos, poetry, and readings combine to create a documentary designed to help those struggling with pornography to break free and journey back to light and dignity. 62 minutes (EST).

CATHOLICISM Why Catholics Do What They Do • Connecting with God Two programs on one DVD! Why Catholics Do What They Do (In Church) explains why symbols and signs are essential to the Roman Catholic Liturgy and Ritual. In four segments of five to seven minutes each, Candles, Water, Gestures, and Crosses are covered in a way that will help young people, catechumens and even life-long Catholics better understand the reasons for these traditions (28 minutes). Connecting with God: Ways to Pray takes a closer look at what prayer can be by focusing on three ways that we can connect with God—through our bodies, through music, and through nature. Sr. Dorothy Ederer, O.P. shows us we can use gestures to pray when we have no words. Fr. Brendan Moss, O.S.B. prays through listening to music. Kathleen Chesto invites us to pray surrounded by the power and beauty of nature (23 minutes).
