It’s another hour of Biblical epics, but with an interesting twist. Rather than go directly to the Gospels, these are all films inspired by bestselling historical novels. Tune in for music from film adaptations of Lloyd C. Douglas’ “The Robe” (Alfred Newman), Thomas B. Costain’s “The Silver Chalice” (Franz Waxman), Pär Lagerkvist’s “Barrabas” (Mario Nascimbene), and General Lew Wallace’s “Ben-Hur” (Miklós Rózsa). It’s the New Testament made new, this Friday at 6 pm.
