The Nativity Story – The Movie

First it was Mel Gibson’s treatment of The Passion…now, this Christmas season, we’ll be seeing the story of the Nativity as a major motion picture. I just watched the movie trailer online and it looks like an interesting window into that old, old story. My friend and editor at Homiletics, Timothy Merrill, writes in his blog that the people at the Vatican were among the first to see a sneak preview. There’s sure to be some buzz about this going into the holiday.

Biblical movies always pique people’s interest, but we always have to remember that the Book is still always better than the movie! I may schedule a screening and post-movie coffee conversation as a way of getting a visual angle on it as we read these texts again.
