In a culture increasingly focused on visual media, students have
learned not only to embrace multimedia presentations in the
classroom, but to expect them. Such expectations are perhaps more
prevalent in a field as dynamic and cross-disciplinary as religious
studies, but the practice nevertheless poses some difficult
educational issues -- the use of movies in academic coursework has
far outpaced the scholarship on teaching religion and film. What
does it mean to utilize film in religious studies, and what are the
best ways to do it?
In Teaching Religion and Film, an interdisciplinary team of
scholars thinks about the theoretical and pedagogical concerns
involved with the intersection of film and religion in the
classroom. They examine the use of film to teach specific religious
traditions, religious theories, and perspectives on fundamental
human values. Some instructors already teach some version of a
film-and-religion course, and many have integrated film as an
ancillary to achieving central course goals. This collection of
essays helps them understand the field better and draws the sharp
distinction between merely "watching movies" in the classroom and
comprehending film in an informed and critical way.
