Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In view of the increasingly powerful role that movies play in cultural dialogue, Johnston has written a book to guide Christian moviegoers into a theological analysis of and conversation with film. Intended for use in the college and seminary classroom, "Reel Spirituality" helps Christians interpret movies through the eyes of faith. It provides the theological underpinnings for this art form and fosters both dialogue and discipleship.
