Watch Jesus Wide-Eyed: Film Clips and the Gospel Texts: Advent-Pentecost, Year B

The author has gathered film clips and movies that give a window into the Gospel readings from Advent through Pentecost using the Revised Common Lectionary Year B. Some tell a story similar to the Gospel narratives, some are a contrast to them and some are stories that provide another way to understand the themes that emerge in the readings. The intention is to allow the film or film clip to stand on its own and tell its story as a parallel story to the one found in the Gospels. Some references that have been collected give information on how to find the exact clip while others give more general information about a part of the film that could be referred to or described.

The intention with the selections chosen is to focus on ones that can walk along side an Anabaptist understanding of the Gospel readings (the gospel of Mark in Year B).
