I've been fascinated for a long time with the intersection of theology, art, and culture, and, while film isn't usually the medium that I explore, this book promised to be an insightful look into how modern storytellers do theology. The author's premise is that the Christian story is so pervasive as to permeate all artistic expression in some way, a premise with which I agree. After setting the groundwork for his thesis, he proceeds to dig into an examination of several films and television programs to expand on how redemptive and theological imagery play out. He cautions up front that he is not encouraging the reader to view all of his examples, as well as that some of his examples will prove off-putting for some readers. The point here is for the reader to begin to think more analytically about what they are viewing. There isn't any heavy theology going on here. This is a light and quick read, but it's an informative and enlightening read. Cosper didn't introduce any concepts with which I wasn't already familiar, but I thoroughly enjoyed his discussion in any case. For anyone whose inclinations turn to this type of discussion, this is certainly and must-read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The average American watches 5 hours of TV every day. Collectively, we spend roughly $30 billion on movies each year. Simply put, we're entertainment junkies. But can we learn something from our insatiable addiction to stories? Mike Cosper thinks so. From horror flicks to rom-coms, the tales we tell and the myths we weave inevitably echo the narrative underlying all of history: the story of humanity's tragic sin and God's triumphant salvation. This entertaining book connects the dots between the stories we tell and the one great Story-helping us better understand the longings of the human heart and thoughtfully engage with the movies and TV shows that capture our imaginations.
