Growing numbers of church leaders are discovering that many
films are able to impact viewers with gospel truths almost as well
as a good sermon. Ed McNulty, a former pastor and longtime reviewer
of films, offers this guide to help church leaders enter into
dialogue with contemporary films. McNulty carefully crafts a
theology of movies and then provides practical suggestions for
creating and leading movie discussions with groups. In addition, he
provides people from all across the theological spectrum with a
framework to understand whether the overall message of a film
outweighs concerns over profanity, violence, or sex in the film. He
concludes by introducing twenty-seven films and including
provocative questions about each that will prepare leaders to
assemble and facilitate a group.
Popular films explored include "The Color Purple"; "Crash";
"Hotel Rwanda"; "The Matrix"; "Million Dollar Baby"; "O Brother,
Where Art Thou?" and "The Shawshank Redemption."
