Exodus: God And The King of Kings: The Case For God, Moses, And The Exodus

Description

Overview: Just where does fiction begin and fact end in the new movie Exodus: Gods and Kings? The provocative mix of fact and fiction in Ridley Scott's film “Exodus: Gods and Kings" raises interesting questions regarding the origins and actuality of the Exodus led by Moses. Scott and selected writers are avowed atheists who attempt a retelling of the biblical story of Moses and the Exodus. As non-believers, they take numerous liberties with the story as they intend to recast one of the foundational narratives of Judeo-Christian civilization. Some viewers may come away from the movie questioning their beliefs, wondering what is true. Questions like: Was the Red Sea really parted? Was Moses actually used by God to perform miracles to lead the people out of Egypt? Questions like these may arise when people watch atheist Ridley Scott’s “Exodus: Gods and Kings.”
