Evangelical Theologians' Initiative Releases Documentary Series on Modern Roman Catholicism

The Reformanda Initiative, which brings together evangelical theologians, has produced a documentary and educational film series about modern Roman Catholicism. The series looks at aspects of Roman Catholic theology and practice, and its creators want viewers to critically assess idealized perceptions of the church, using the Bible as the basis.

What the series includes

The series consists of six episodes, each about ten minutes long. It was filmed in Roman Catholic basilicas, on streets and at pilgrimage sites in Europe. Each episode is presented by a different theologian.

According to the source, the initiative's theologians have spent ten years studying contemporary expressions of Roman Catholicism. The creators aim to draw attention to aspects of the church's theology and practice that, in their view, often go unnoticed.

Supporting study materials

In addition to the films, a guide has been prepared. It contains historical texts and important Bible passages. The guide is intended for small-group work and can be used in congregations as well as in theological seminars.

The series is therefore designed not only for individual viewing but also for shared discussion and study within Christian communities.
