With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

According to a new trailer on Amazon Prime UK, a new show that's based on the life of Lady

Jane Gray, who is Queen of England for nine days, will bring her story up to date.

The real Lady Jane was highly intelligent, Lewin in both Greek and Latin, familiar with other

languages and could hold her own in theological discussions.

Thanks to court intrigues and a tenuous claim to the crown,

she became queen as arguably the first woman to reign over England

in her own name.

However, her time in power was short.

She was beheaded at just 16.

The new series, based on a recent novel, presents Lady Jane as Kras, lustful, and manipulative,

as Girl Power pushing back against the patriarchy. I guess the producers think they're being clever

but their attempt to craft an edgy Jane only offers a pale imitation to this truly

strong woman of history and that always tends to be the tragic and pathetic irony of chronological snobbery.

For the Colston Center, I'm John Stone Street.
