American Gospel: Christ Alone (Red-Hot Mega-Review!)

Yesterday, we watched American Gospel: Christ Alone. In this 2018 documentary, Christians bicker and argue about exactly what ‘the gospel’ even means.

In this installment, we witness a super-dramatic rescue! Moreover, it’s one that could have come straight out of  the Bible itself: angels swoop in to aid Susan Jacobson, a character in mortal peril.  Today, Lord Snow Presides over reminders nobody needed that nothing divine rescues anybody in the real world.
