From the moment God says “I am” to Abraham, to the moment the disciples go forth after Jesus’ death and resurrection to share the Gospel, Eli’s life gives us a course in Survey of the Bible. Kind of in parallel, his story is also the story of the life of Jesus.
Many people think of Christians as lemmings. If I convert, they might think, I will cease to have a mind of my own. I will become a mindless speck in the sea of waving arms on a TBN worship service broadcast. Jesus set a precedent that defied such thinking.
As he searches from room to room, leaving behind other daughters he can’t save and pursuing his own with ever-increasing determination, Neeson’s character brings to light for me the passionate nature of God himself once again.
As I listened to the Caprica Soundtrack, it struck me how much power original musical scores like McCreary’s bring to a film or TV series. In both BSG and Caprica, Bear McCreary uses his amazing talent to literally create feelings and moods within the viewers.
The idea of Christ as the groom and his followers as the bride always escaped me. Surely Christ is not ignorant of the conflict we will bring to our relationship with him, and no Christian is fooled into believing that life is all wine and roses.
