Movie Hype
Hollywood is trying to tap into the Christian market by marketing its latest resurrected superhero as a Christ-like figure, and many Christians seem to be buying into that. Jordan Ballor, of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, shows just how misguided that is, in Anti-Christ Superman: The Superhero and the Suffering Servant.
I won't see the movie. I've never seen any of the superhero movies. My question is, why is Hollywood only capable of regurgitating old ideas, albeit with huge budgets?

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
