Film Screening: J.E.S.U.S.A

Please join us this Thursday (February 6th) for an advance film screening of J.E.S.U.S.A. along with a videoconference introduction by the film’s writer and director, Kevin Miller from 7-9pm in Candler School of Theology: Room 360. A conversation piece alongside Pitts’ new exhibition Thy Kingdom Come: American Evangelicalism from George Whitefield to Contemporary PoliticsJ.E.S.U.S.A. is an in-depth exploration of the relationship between Christianity and American nationalism and the violence that can often emerge from it. Far from a new phenomenon, this documentary traces the co-opting of Christianity by the state all the way back to when the Christian faith became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
