In the eighth episode of The Pop Culture Lens podcast, Christopher Olson and CarrieLynn Reinhard celebrate the Easter Sunday holiday by discussing the Martin Scorsese film The Last Temptation of Christ (1988).
Not being religious scholars, Christopher and CarrieLynn focus their discuss on the usefulness and even necessity for artists and audiences to engage in artistic and critical explorations of religious texts through such pop cultural adaptations. They argue that as long as the work is done with respect for the canon and the religion, then such pop cultural artifacts could indeed be useful to explore the meanings of the religious stories for peoples' lives. Furthermore, as cultural texts, these adaptations could help people learn more about different religions, perhaps providing for a common ground on which to build dialogue and understanding.
