Watching Theology, Etc.

Erik Guzman July 13th, 2007

Christians and Hollywood have a checkered past. It seems that if we're not shunning movies altogether (or watching "Christian" films); we're fishing for sermon illustrations, Christ figures, and redemptive themes in movies where they just don't exist.

Joe and Melissa Johnson from the podcast Watching Theology are a different breed. They approach a film the way a theologian examines a Biblical text, looking at its philosophical and thematic elements, and listening closely to what the author has to say. It's more fun than it sounds.

If you're into God and movies, start clickin'.

Check out also Through a Screen Darkly by Jeffrey Overstreet. He helped start Christianity Today's movie reviews. Also recently ran into another book called Reflections for Movie Lovers by Matthew Kinne. It's a years' worth of devotional content that relates movies and their philosophical elements. Both men do a great job finding God in unexpected places in the movies!

Hey Angela. If you're into Jeffrey Overstreet, we had him on SBE. It was a good show.

Here's a link.
