Movies have been one of the most popular forms of entertainment for a long time. In the last few decades our culture and thought have been dominated by entertainment.
There is a tension between being formed and discipled by the Word of God and living in a culture governed by moving pictures. Our entertainment culture can often distort the way we perceive and think about reality and the most important questions of life. This means for us as Christians, it is vitally important that we watch movies with our eyes open and our minds awake.
This seminar will help you to watch movies and evaluate them from the Christian worldview. It will also give you some tips on using movies to provoke thought and conversation about God and life among your non-believing friends.
