Paul, Apostle of Christ
[edit]- ... that the upcoming film Paul, Apostle of Christ is Jim Caviezel's first appearance in a biblical film since he portrayed Jesus in Passion of the Christ? Source: "Now, for the first time since The Passion, Caviezel has returned to the Bible-film genre to play the role of St. Luke the Evangelist in the upcoming film Paul, Apostle of Christ" [1]

size and age ok, referenced, QPQ done. sourced. hook sourced. Earwig's copyvio looks ok-ish but is inflated by extensive attributed quoting. The only issue is the plot synopsis is a little promotional and melodramatic-sounding. Needs to be written more neutrally, particularly the last few sentences.

- All this should be paraphrased in your own words. Difficult-to-rewrite phrases should be put in quotes. Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
