Institution:

Husson University

Subject:

Description:

Description: In our image-soaked world, the movie industry powerfully shapes our lives and the ways we think about God and participate in religious communities. This course will serve both as an introduction to the study of the religions of the world and as an introduction to thinking critically about movies. Using insights by film scholars we will develop our ability to understand better how filmmakers craft a film and communicate values explicitly and implicitly. By reading theologians and culture critics we will learn to participate thoughtfully in the dialogue between faith and film. Prerequisites: Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
