Title: Noah, More than Just an Ark

Description: Today we are joined by Garry Stevens of the History in the Bible Podcast to talk about the Biblical story of Noah from the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible. We will use the 2014 film Noah starring Russell Crowe to examine this popular story. We also see how this movie used non-Canonical texts, such as the Book of Enoch. This movie is much more complex and nuanced than any Hollywood movie deserves to be!

I mean, he almost has the same haircut and every movie, the haircut and the beard that's um, he's Russell Crowe.
Yeah. Then you have Jennifer Conley. Then you have Jennifer Connelly, Noah's wife, Nama and [00:03:00] Connelly. She's an American actress. Then she starred in movies. Very various quality. She won an academy award star opposite Russell Crowe and another Russell Crowe movie. A beautiful mind. Boy, maybe that's another one for the future episode.
