A Fresh Take on History's Biggest Event form the Point 

of View of the Skeptics
Picking up where the "Passion of the Christ" left off Columbia pictures presents the biblical drama RISEN
in theateres everywhere today (Feb. 19)

Through the eyes of a high-ranking Roman military officer, RISEN  imaginatively retells what happened after Jesus was crucified and resurrected. Following the crucifixion, Pontius Pilate (Peter Firth) assigns Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) to find Jesus’ missing body and disprove any resurrection.  through the eyes of the unbelieving Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), a high-ranking Roman military officer. Clavius and his aide Lucius (Tom Felton) are assigned by Pontius Pilate to ensure that Jesus’ radical followers can’t steal his body and claim a resurrection. Within days, however, the body is missing, putting Clavius on a mission to find it, to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and to prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.


See why the story of Christ's resurrection is still socially and historically relevant thousands of years later. 

 RISEN is an epic biblical story of Jesus’ crucifixion and the weeks following   
RISEN stars Joseph Fiennes (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE), Tom Felton (HARRY POTTER), Peter Firth (PEARL HARBOR) and Cliff Curtis (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD). Kevin Reynolds (ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES) directs with Steven Mirkovich editing (THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST).

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
