This Past Friday I watched a great movie called: "The Book Of Eli" starring Denzel Washington. Itz a post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. Yeah, er, well… that sacred book he’s protecting just happens to be the "Bible" so I found it very exciting to say the least.

It isn’t very often these days that when Hollywood makes a movie concerning the Bible that it isn’t mocking it or taking some major liberties for the sake of entertainment or by being doctrine-friendly to all religions. For this movie I’m very happy to say that I didn’t see any of that.

This story stayed pretty reverent as to what most Believers feel the meaning and purpose of the Bible towards mankind really is, as the main focus was on Eli’s journey/mission to deliver the book rather than on God Himself. It is obvious that the voice Eli says has given him the mission was God if in no other way than the giving of thanks over the meals as well as his final prayer at the conclusion of the movie.

Of course they do not mention the name of Jesus (outside of cursing) which would have been nice since He represents the entire New Testament of the Bible.

However, it’s the ending and exactly HOW Eli finally delivers the book to it’s appointed destination that got me excited. An awesome two thumbs-up and a must see no matter what your faith is.
