Jesus is suddenly a very hot commodity in the entertainment industry. 🔴 NEW: From 'Sound of Freedom' to 'The Chosen', a surge of Christian-themed movies and TV shows are attracting big audiences—and raking in big business. Read our new cover story:
tweeted that,"Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign." And on CNN, Chrissy Stroop of the left-leaning online magazine, said the campaign was"strategically developed by right-wing Evangelicals to rope people in with inclusive-sounding messaging."
A sign of the friction came with the recent controversy over an invitation by the L.A. Dodgers to The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence; the drag performers dress as nuns and pole dance on a cross and were branded by one Catholic organization"as an anti-Catholic hate group" while liberals leapt to their defense. Caught between both camps, the Dodgers announced a"Christian Faith and Family Day" on July 30 to try to appease that constituency.
Some critics believe a turn toward a harsher view of Christianity in film happened in the mid-1970s. They point to the film adaptation of the Stephen King novel Carrie, whose title character is born of a devout Christian mother and terrifies her town with murderous telekinetic powers. The critics argue that Christians are too often portrayed negatively on screen—with antagonists identified by their ownership of a cross or a rosary, or by their ability to cite passages from the Bible.
It comes at a cost, though."Christians believe their faith is the core of who they are, and they don't want it denigrated," Halleen says."The media doesn't understand them, so they don't trust the media.
