Once it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Fjord stopped being just a film. Between the movie and its audience, the prestige of the award inserted itself, along with the accompanying expectations, suspicions, claims, and demands.

Aurelius Augustine (354-430) is known for the stirring Christian experience he described in his Confessions and for the seminal theological thought that has shaped theology to this day.

Over the centuries, strong but artificial tensions have been created between the Gospel of Paul (proclaimed especially by Augustine and many Protestants) and the "legalism" of the biblical writers James, Peter, Jude, and so on, which Catholic and Orthodox theologians have usually defended.
