VFTB 176: Gnostic Noah
Published 11 years, 10 months ago
Description
WHILE OTHER Christian commentators debated over the degree to which director Darren Aronofsky's film Noah deviated from the Bible's account, Dr. Brian Mattson sparked a minor controversy by suggesting that Aronofsky's story wasn't based on the biblical text at all.
He was exaggerating, but not by much. Brian, a theologian, writer, speaker and co-host of the Dead Reckoning vidcast, explains that Aronofsky's Noah was full of Gnostic symbolism, and he tells us why he was disturbed that respected Christian leaders seemed oblivious to it when recommending the film to other believers.

Derek and Sharon Gilbert will be at the Prophecy in the News Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit July 25-27, 2014 at the Marriott Hotel in Colorado Springs. Watch for information here.
