Imagine you live in a small town. Maybe it’s easy for you to imagine because you actually do. You’ve spent your whole life there. You know all the people, and all the people know you. Years go by. Decades. The same faces at the same corner store, the same routes to the same places, the same sky overhead. It’s comfortable. Predictable. You could walk the whole thing blindfolded and never trip.

Can we stop it from happening again?

A father must do the impossible: sacrifice his son. The son kneels before him, ready to accept his fate. And then, suddenly, both are saved by … A word from an angel? A ram caught in a thicket? No, in this case, the son—Jake Sully’s adopted son, Spider, in Avatar: Fire and Ash—is saved by his remorseful adoptive mother, Neytiri. Just in the nick of time, too. Fire and Ash is in no way a Christian story. In fact, its shamanistic environmentalism is a few light years away from Christianity. But that hasn’t stopped its director, James Cameron, from using Christian themes and imagery to spread his own pseudo theology. For many, it would’ve been just a resonant emotional moment. But for those with a decent rooting in the Bible, they might’ve been struck by the narrative parallels to Abraham and Isaac. And given Cameron’s penchant for cherry-picking biblical motifs throughout his Avatar series, I’m pretty sure those parallels were intentional. This is nothing new, of course, and we shouldn’t be surprised. The gospel is often called the “greatest story ever told,” so why wouldn’t even secular moviemakers want in on that action? And sometimes, Hollywood’s stories—intentionally or not—can make us Christians even more mindful of important biblical themes: Good and evil. Truth and grace. Sin and redemption. Occasionally, movies can strengthen our faith or challenge it in healthy ways. But some filmmakers can use spiritual touchstones to draw us further away from our beliefs. And in some cases, they might even do a little of both. (I’m looking at you, Sinners.) So join Bob Hoose, Emily Tsiao and me as we talk about the intersection of spirituality with cinema—the good, the bad and the just plain ugly.
