Dallas Jenkins – I’ve talked about this before, so I’m only going to touch on it. Jenkins is the producer and creative mind behind the show. He has made it clear that he believes Mormons, Catholics, and Christians “love the same Jesus” and have only a few minor theological differences. He put together a group of spiritual advisors to make sure “he gets Christ right” and that panel consists of a Mormon, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish Rabbi. Is it possible for any of those men to get Christ right? So how can we trust this show to accurately portray Jesus Christ? But God told Dallas Jenkins that this show was going to be a “definitive portrayal of my people” and that “He wouldn’t let him screw it up.” Spoiler alert: that wasn’t God speaking to him.
“that panel consists of a Mormon, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish Rabbi” is false.
The three primary theological advisors for the Chosen are:
- Dr. Doug Huffman: A professor of New Testament at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology.
- Father David Guffey (C.S.C.): A Roman Catholic priest and national director of Family Theater Productions.
- Rabbi Jason Sobel: A Messianic Jewish Rabbi and founder of Fusion Global Ministries.
Biography of Dr. Douglas Huffman:
Before starting his new role at Northwestern in 2025, Dr. Huffman had formerly served the institution as Professor of New Testament, Dean of Enrollment Services, founder of Northwestern’s graduate studies program, and an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow. For the fourteen years prior to returning to Northwestern, Dr. Huffman had been serving in the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, most recently as Dean of Academic Programs, where he taught New Testament courses and supervised the program directors for Talbot’s undergraduate and graduate programs.
Dr. Huffman has a robust publication record, having authored and edited numerous books and peer-reviewed articles, including
The Jesus Story Continues: A Survey of the Acts of the Apostles (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Academic, 2025) and
Understanding the New Testament Use of the Old Testament: Forms, Features, Framings, and Functions (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2024) among the most recent.
As a professional script consultant for The Chosen, the multi-season television series on the life of Christ, Dr. Huffman has participated as the evangelical expert in the Bible Roundtable discussions debriefing each episode. He has co-authored The Chosen Bible Study Series, co-edited
Watching The Chosen: History, Faith, and Interpretation (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2025), and spoken at various events about the show. He is now also working with 5&2 Studios on spin-off shows, as The Chosen cinematic universe is expanding.
Dr. Huffman earned a Ph.D. in Theological Studies with a focus on New Testament Exegesis and Theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he also completed an M.A. in Christian Thought – Systematic Theology & Philosophy of Religion. Prior to that, he earned an M.A. in Biblical Studies with an emphasis on the New Testament from Wheaton College and a B.A. in Ministries – Christian Education & Recreation from Northwestern College in St. Paul.

NO MORMONS, just spreading hatred and lies.
So which are the TRUE Christians?
