Jesus camp movie review
Chicago Sun-Times reporter Cathleen Falsani reviews the Jesus Camp movie, and finds it disturbing and sad. That she finds it disturbing and sad isn’t particularly surprising, as the movie documents a Pentacostal revival camp and some of the outrageous attitudes and teachings there. What’s surprising is that Falsani is a Christian, and rather than go into apoplectic fits over the film, she uses it as a chance for some self-reflection.
After watching “Jesus Camp,” I can’t help but wonder where education ends and indoctrination begins, whether indoctrination can ever be a benign thing, and what, exactly, constitutes spiritual abuse.
…
Spiritual abuse leaves debilitating scars, even if you can’t see them. There’s more than one way to walk through this life with a limp.
The entire review is well worth the read, if only to read some very conscientious musings.
