The Western Journal: Prominent Bible Teacher Points Out 'Red Flags' in Trailer for Netflix's New 'Mary' Movie
Mike Winger, a Bible teacher and host of the "Bible Thinker" podcast, has raised concerns about the trailer for Netflix's upcoming film "Mary," which focuses on the mother of Jesus. He critiques elements he perceives as extra-biblical and modern, particularly a "girl boss" narrative that he believes distorts the biblical message.
Winger points out specific scenes that he feels misrepresent the story, such as a line suggesting love will save the world, which he argues simplifies the theological significance of Jesus. He hopes the final film may address these issues more faithfully but expresses skepticism about its overall quality.
