Biblical Allusions in Pop Culture Biblical Allusions in Pop Culture Biblical Allusions in Pop Culture The King James Bible is an integral part of the Western literary canon. Many novels, plays, and poems read in western literature in high school and beyond will contain multiple biblical allusions—authors rely on your knowledge of the Bible in order to further your understanding of their messages. In your group, you will be presenting a specific allusion from the Bible. If you are not familiar with the allusion, then the first step is to do some light research on the topic. Next, each individual should start searching for instances of this allusion being used in literature,film,television, etc. Retellings of the story will suffice. For example: Evan Almighty=Noah/The Flood. Create a brief presentation for the class. It should include: -The allusion you were assigned -A brief synopsis of the allusion - TWO instances of it used in pop culture. They should be different mediums, such as film and literature, or TV and film, etc. If it is a film or tv show, get a representative clip from Youtube. If literature, reproduce a segment of the written work. That’s it. You will present on Friday 10/3. Save it on something that you can access on my laptop.

  • Waterways Film List
    Water/Ways Film List This film resource list was assembled to help you research and develop programming around the themes of the WATER/WAYS exhibition. Work with your local library, a movie theater, campus/community film clubs to host films and film discussions in conjunction with the exhibition. This list is not meant to be exhaustive or even all-encompassing – it will simply get you started. A quick search of the library card catalogue or internet will reveal numerous titles and lists compiled by experts, special interest groups and film buffs. Host series specific to your region or introduce new themes to your community. All titles are available on DVD unless otherwise specified. See children’s book list for some of the favorite animated short films. Many popular films have blogs, on-line talks, discussion ideas and classroom curriculum associated with the titles. Host sites should check with their state humanities council for recent Council- funded or produced documentaries on regional issues. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. 1954. Adventure, Drama, Family. Not Rated. 127 minutes. Based on the 1870 classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne, this is the story of the fictional Captain Nemo (James Mason) and his submarine, Nautilus, and an epic undersea exploration. The oceans during the late 1860’s are no longer safe; many ships have been lost. Sailors have returned to port with stories of a vicious narwhal (a giant whale with a long horn) which sinks their ships. A naturalist, Professor Pierre Aronnax (Paul Lukas), his assistant, Conseil (Peter Lorre), and a professional whaler, Ned Land (Kirk Douglas), join an US expedition which attempts to unravel the mystery.

  • Scripture and Message Synopses and Preview the Videos Before We Gather If at All Possible
    All Church Worship Brainstorming June-September 2017 Monday, May 22, 2017 Pastor Mary and Ivan Ivanov’s house 6:00 pm Cookout/Potluck Dinner 7:00-9:00 pm Brainstorming for Worship Join us at 6:00 pm for dinner. Ivan is grilling lots of meat and bread. Please bring a dish to pass. RSVP’s are helpful but not mandatory. Contact the church office (213-798-2181 or [email protected]). Please read the scripture and message synopses and preview the videos before we gather if at all possible. In the Beginning: (God’s) Family Drama Genesis gives us the story of how and what God created and the great flood. It also tells the story of God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and his sons (the twelve tribes of Israel). But as with any family, there is drama and dysfunction. It is like reality TV at its best (and worst!). It is real life and real faith - sometimes messy, sometimes beautiful, always a blessing even when we can’t fully see the end result. What do all of these men and women teach us about our own humanity and God’s faithfulness? Ideas: Have a small group opportunity to read through and study Genesis together. This would allow us to dig into the whole book, including stories that we won’t cover like Cain and Abel, Lot and family, Rebekah, Leah and Rachel, Dinah, Tamar, and Potiphar’s wife. Show films like Bruce Almighty, Evan Almighty, and The Shack. Use family sitcom scenes as a jumping off point for discussion.

  • Christian Concepts Unpacked- Prophecy Upper
    Christian Concepts Unpacked : Prophecy Upper KS2 Title: Prophecy Upper KS2 Key Concept: Divine inspiration Religion: Christianity Key Question: Is prophecy significant today for Christians? Duration :approx 6 hours Back Story: One of the main themes throughout the Bible is prophecy. In Christian understanding stories interlink between Old and New Testament and, most importantly, the prophecy of Jesus coming to Earth to save mankind from their sins is fulfilled from the Old Testament. KS1 and lower KS2 children may have gained an understanding of the responsibility that prophets had; they were chosen by God to pass on a message. The message may have been to give people hope, or guidance and was then remembered once the prophecy had been fulfilled. In upper KS2 children should revise these key points; prophecy is a divine message from God and prophets are chosen for different reasons. It is important, throughout this unit, that children come to the understanding that prophets are chosen by God and should now think more deeply about what kind of people were chosen to be prophets and why. Often, unlikely characters were chosen by God – He gave people opportunities to learn and grow in faith, and prophecies and tasks were hard – God wanted His prophets to have to trust Him completely and not rely on their own strength. This unit looks in depth at Noah and his journey Bible Story: Noah : Genesis chapters 6-9 Resources you will need : (web links in text) 2014 Noah film clip or trailer (12A – may need permission) or Clip from Evan Almighty (PG rating – may need permission) Bibles Weather forecast clip – cut from newspaper the day before you teach lesson 1.
