THL 605 - Theology and Film


Through viewing films, discussion (online and face-to-face), and student presentations, this course will identify various ways the art of filmmaking might play a more intentional role in ministry. The course will explore and engage the use of film for theological dialogue (among Christians, between Christians and those with other faith convictions, and in the public sphere), Christian education, Bible study, sermon crafting, and even pastoral care. Elements of the craft of filmmaking will be evaluated in order to seek parallels in the practices of ministry. Particular attention will be paid to films with global, cross-cultural and interfaith themes.

3 Credits.
