Don't mean to step on ST's turf, but as this
review in CT says, you should take the time and go see the new movie Amazing Grace, the story of the abolitionist William Wilberforce, whose efforts as a British MP finally ended the slave trade in the British Empire. The movie doesn't shy away at all from Wilberforce's evangelical faith and manages at the same time not to bludgeon you with it, either. It's not a perfect film, but it's quite good and I think may point interestingly toward where Evangelicalism is headed over the next generation or so. But more on that later...just go see the movie.
Michael, thanks for the heads up. I heard about this and wondered if it was another "Christian" movie of not the highest quality. Hopefully Sam the Magnificent will be able to do a review in the near future.
