OFTHEMES - Christian Themes Through Cinema
Course Description
Lecture and the written word can only say so much. It is said that a picture speaks a thousand words. How much can “The Pictures” speak to us? This course will use great movies of the past century to expound upon Christian themes. Students will be responsible for watching the upcoming class movie on their own,
and sifting out the various ways the story, script, and actors express these Christian themes. Themes will include forgiveness, solidarity, original sin, grace, and sacramentality. Type: Lecture and Discussion
