Radio Theatre: The Chronicles of Narnia

by

Over the last several weeks, Jenni and I listened to The Chronicles of Narnia, another first-class presentation by Focus on the Family Radio Theatre. Since purchasing the Narnia CDs about one year ago, this was our second time listening to this excellent twenty-two hour production (157 tracks on 19 CDs). (No, we’re not bored. We took some road trips and had some downtime with some illnesses.) It definitely beats TV.

Bauder on Theater

by

Kevin Bauder‘s recent five-part series on a Christian view of theater is worth reading. He provocatively lays out some issues that are fundamental to discussing the controversial issue, and he raises a number of questions that he leaves unanswered (for now at least). I haven’t thought about the issue at the level he has, so I’m open to adjusting my view of theater. As of yet, however, I’m not convinced that it is a medium that Christians should completely avoid.

Series title: Fundamentalists and Theater

  1. Act One: Whatever Happened?
  2. Act Two: So What?
  3. Act Three: Say What?
  4. Act Four: Says Who?
  5. Act Five: Curtain Call
