On Film: First Jesus, Now Mary Magdalene

The people who brought the "Jesus" film to screens across the world in hundreds of languages have now begun a project about a woman of the Bible: Mary Magdalene. "Magdalena: Released from Shame" is a new movie created by The Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.

In an announcement, the film is described as a new evangelistic tool aimed especially at women. "Through her eyes, this film portrays how Jesus values women by focusing on historical accounts of his interactions with them."

The title of the film on Mary of Magdala is not encouraging, if one is looking for historical accuracy. But, then, one doesn't exactly expect such honesty out of Campus Crusade. Their track record is more indicative of what Steven Colbert calls "truthiness."
