Inspired
Inspired is the nation's leading public radio show about faith, ethics and spirituality. Each week we offer you analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of Orthodox Jewish artists and African-American atheists, Muslim feminists and spiritual seekers. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore.
This week on Interfaith Voices:
Journalists’ Roundtable
Our panelists discuss the string of attacks on houses of worship, the fire at Notre Dame in Paris, the decision of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI to break his silence and weigh in on the Roman Catholic Church’s sexual abuse crisis, the future of the United Methodist Church — and more.

Mary Magdalene on the Big Screen
The first full-length feature on Jesus’ female apostle, “Mary Magdalene,” takes a decidedly feminist viewpoint on the saint, who for most of history has been depicted as a fallen woman or prostitute, despite any lack of evidence in the Gospels – and she is mentioned in all four. The film, which stars Rooney Mara as Mary Magdalene and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus, imagines how Mary came to leave her family, follow Jesus and carry on his message. But is it a good movie?
John Anderson, film critic for America magazine
