Which Christians speak for all? Hint: Not necessarily evangelicals

Cathy Lynn Grossman

Christians like this. Christians don’t like that. Christians won’t like “Exodus” and they may be disappointed with “Unbroken.”

In the run-up to two big December movies — the sorta-kinda-biblical epic that opened Friday and the World War II biopic of hero Louis Zamperini opening on Christmas — multiple voices claimed the films aren’t “faithful” to what “Christians” want to see.

Meaning: They aren’t literal to the Exodus biblical text or historic facts such as Zamperini’s born-again experience that changed his post-war life.
