What professors and pastors are saying about Pomegranate Gospel:

“Hoffman offers a fresh, candid, often humorous, at times controversial, interpretation of the Bible. Most Bible films have a holy aura, which can be offensive and unrealistic.  Hoffman clearly avoids that sin.”

–Jack Alan Scott, Scholar-in-Residence, Claremont Graduate University,  Former Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and State Senator

 

“One never knows what fruit might come forth from a relationship planted in high school and then nurtured for more than five decades, but Pomegranate Gospel is a delicious product from the fertile mind of Gary Hoffman that is truly a gift to be savored.  As a church pastor, my friendship with Gary has been blessed over the years with conversations and introductions to works of art that have often given me a deeper appreciation for and insight into a biblical story far beyond my theological education.”

–Reverend Michael H. Carrier, Pastor, Congregational Christian Church of Franklin, New Hampshire.

 

“Reading Pomegranate Gospel is a bit like your being told that a specific Rorschach ink blot is a prophet juggling an hour glass: once the book’s inspired ideas are implanted, you’ll have trouble seeing the Bible any other way; in fact, you’ll wonder how traditional religious establishments got away with their interpretations for so long, considering Pomegranate is a hell of a lot more fun and ultimately more satisfying.”

–Leigh Ann Weatherford, Professor of English, Orange Coast College
