“This is a great volume of essays that work both as solid primers into major themes related to faith, and as lucid excursions into specific films. This volume is fascinating, readable, and provocative. Highly recommended.”

Khalil M. Habib, Hillsdale College

“The authors of this fine collection of essays remind us that real art, even highly commercialized art like film, is meant to help us better see reality, including the reality of ourselves as humans in a fallen world hungrily longing for mercy and grace. This book provides a great service, not only in helping us better appreciate movies we have seen, but in preparing us to be more thoughtful movie goers in the future.”

Jerome Foss, Saint Vincent College

[A]ll of the authors model how to think seriously about film as Christians, even when the films themselves ostensibly lack any substantive religious content. At a time when popular culture is nearly devoid of religious substance, such modeling of careful Christian analysis of film is especially important.
