Evan Almighty

July 4, 2007 | 3 Comments

Dr James Dobson had some negative things to say about Evan Almighty (read them at the Plugged In Mag’s review page here). Overall I do agree with him but at the same time I don’t.

Evan Almighty is a great story about a modern day Noah and it really makes you think about how we treat God and how well we listen and obey (or don’t, as the case may be).

Theologically there are some sections which miss the mark completely but those can be corrected by the Church. I’d much rather a movie which overtly teaches bad theology than one which subtly teaches it and teaches society wrong beliefs without them knowing they are being taught anything at all (Superman Returns being a fine example of this).

Go watch it. It’s fun.

Harrowing and violent - yet essential viewing.

In the beginning God created - everything, mankind included.

Man decided to reject God and accept sin.

God sent His own Son to die for us and take the punishment for our sin.

We simply need to accept Him and repent of our sin to return to a relationship with God.

However - most of the time, we don’t really appreciate what Christ did for us. We don’t appreciate how or what He suffered to bring us salvation.

This movie shows it and all its ugly, sickening horror.

In my opinion, it is essential viewing (at least once) for everyone so they can gain a deeper understanding of God’s love and what He was prepared to do for us.
