Faith and Film: Theological Themes at the Cinema |
Designed to help pastors and worship planners integrate four of the most important biblical themes into worship, each volume provides complete services for a number of different scripture passages. These resources can be used in conjunction with the new Bible Quest curriculum or in other worship contexts, including churches that follow the lectionary.The services, written by pastors and lay leaders from several denominations, feature a call to worship, an opening prayer, a prayer of confession, words of assurance, prayers of the people, a children's sermon, two sermon starters, an offering meditation, an offering prayer, a communion meditation, and a benediction.From the powerful Shawshank Redemption to the classic comedy Oh, God!, Bryan Stone uses movies and phrases of the Apostles' Creed to illustrate basic themes of theology and how they manifest themselves in popular culture. Questions for discussion and suggestions for additional films at the end of each chapter make this an ideal resource for adult study groups.Stone's treatment of the intersection of faith and film is not only theologically serious but eminently practical. The possible applications for discussion groups, Christian education, and homiletic illustration are endless.
