Prince of Egypt was so good and I loved you addressing that great work of art! Same with Gustave Dore's stuff.
You're critiques of The Chosen are sound.
Overall you make fantastic points and lay out great principles when assessing a Christian adaptation, I will be sure to revisit this framework when I am considering the value of adaptations in the future.
Also, Creed is just incredible and I love their music as well. I remember jamming in the car with my dad to them. Glad to see a fellow fan.
I have very similar Creed memories, though my Mom was always the bigger fan between my parents.
Thanks for the kind words, Rocky! I think biblical adaptations are both more important than some would otherwise admit but also quite hard to undertake. As with any historical fiction, one needs to color within the clear lines drawn from scripture and history, but I do believe (as with anything) there is a level of creative freedom that God allows. I appreciate your comments!
