Movies and Mission
2025-11-12 15:30 - 16:30, 2025-11-19 15:30 - 16:30 | Online
Movies are a powerful medium that both shape and reflect the culture around us. This fall, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (CSL) and Concordia University, St. Paul (CSP), St. Paul, Minn., are teaming up to offer a unique opportunity to examine film through the lens of faith. The six-week virtual continuing education course, “Movies and Mission,” invites participants to explore how popular films can help Christians better understand and engage with the world around them in their witness to the Gospel.
Taught by Dr. Joshua Hollmann, professor of Systematic Theology at CSP, and Dr. David I.M. Lewis, associate professor of Exegetical Theology at CSL.
