Biography

Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Cliff Robertson, this 102-minute feature-length film documentary this film draws a captivating picture of one of the most remarkable famous crisis in American religious history. For some amazing days in the fall of 1844, America was on the raw edge of its nerves. In the large cities of the Northeast, angry mobs chased worshipers out of their churches. Theologians thundered their disapproval of the shocking doctrine from their pulpits. Newspaper editors invented scandalous stories, heaping abuse and ridicule on the faithful. In the face of such opposition, one in seventeen Americans, from Maine to Ohio to Washington DC and beyond, still believed or hoped or perhaps feared that the world would be destroyed by fire at the second coming of Christ on October 22, 1844.

Faith Matters -      The Last Enemy Defeated

Part 5 of the 7-part series, Faith Matters

Faith Matters -      The Breath Of God

The Breath of God: Christian theologians  discuss the Holy Spirit in relation to Jesus and God; the Holy Spirit as a link between the human and the divine; what it means to be holy; the charismata, or gifts of the Holy Spirit, and “pneuma,” “paraclete,” and “koinonia”; how the third Person of the Trinity might be experienced by believers today; and how the idea of the Holy Spirit can play out in ecclesiastical communities and in human lives.

History

Revolution of Conscience: Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the church door at Wittenberg hoping to open a theological dialogue. Instead, he sparked the Reformation. Providing social and historical context, this definitive documentary elucidates key theological issues that still divide teh Christian church. Expert commentary from Dr. Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, and Dr. Paul Richardson, Professor of Hymnology at Samford University.

Hymnody

The Nightingale of Wittenberg: Congregational music during worship owes its origin to Martin Luther, who used it to proclaim his bedrock message of the Protestant Reformation: God’s grace as the sole ingredient for salvation. This elegant program explains how Luther changed the mode of public worship by integrating music into the divine service so that all Christians—not just the clergy—could express and celebrate their belief. 

Hymnody

For a Thousand Tongues to Sing: Between 1738 and 1788, Charles Wesley wrote more than 9,000 hymns and sacred poems, work which earned him the title “The Sweet Bard of Methodism.” This program recounts Wesley’s life and life’s work, with special attention to his better-known songs, such as “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Scholars of music and theology speak about Wesley’s childhood, education, and missionary work; explore the roots of his passion for hymn-writing; and demonstrate how Wesley’s impressive body of work consistently embraced astute references to Scripture, poetic language, and personal experience. 

Social Issues

The 51st State: Born with a Wooden Spoon

 The United States continues to be the wealthiest country in the world, yet one in eight Americans—approximately 37 million people—live below the poverty line. This program analytically and sympathetically discusses the effects and implications of poverty, examining factors such as illiteracy, insufficient job skills, substance abuse, and crime. The phenomenon of multigenerational poverty is also addressed, underscoring the disturbing pattern of poverty begetting poverty.

Social Issues

The 51st State: America's Working Poor

While poverty has traditionally been a problem only for the unemployed, a new demographic of Americans has emerged—the working poor. This program explores the disturbing realities that many people in low-wage jobs face every day—such as having to decide whether to pay the rent, buy groceries, or see a doctor. Viewers will learn how standards of living are often measured, how suburban areas have fostered a particular type of economic hardship, and how welfare-to-work programs have, at times, led to more resistant poverty. The film also draws connections between America’s immigration challenges and the swelling numbers of working poor. Original program title: I Am Working, Working, Working, Yet Poor: The Working Poor. A part of the six-episode series on Poverty in America. (Original series title: The 51st State.)
