The Bible, Theology and Christ-Figures in Film

Presenter

Rev. David Lewis

Rev. David Lewis
Assistant Professor of Exegetical Theology

The Fall Lay Bible Institute will explore the various ways American cinema has appropriated the biblical narrative, Christian theology and the story of Jesus to tell its own stories. Participants will examine how films may reflect the worldview of their makers, American society at large and those who watch them. Christians will be asked how they should approach and interpret such films so they might help them to confess the Gospel more clearly.
