Dan Daugherty, Executive Director of the Alcuin Study Center, joins us to explore how the theme of resurrection has been depicted and reimagined in literature and film.

Along the way, we discuss everything from The Count of Monte Cristo to The Dark Knight Rises, and why the historical resurrection of Jesus remains central to the Christian faith.
