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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePopular films explored include \u003ci\u003eThe Color Purple\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHotel Rwanda\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMillion Dollar Baby\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eO Brother, Where Art Thou?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Shawshank Redemption\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.06 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51782346834208,"sku":"9780664229504","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b3d031973c024e8551c8f865e70cee64.webp?v=1780568563","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/faith-and-film-a-guidebook-for-leaders-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
