HUM 210 Redemptive Cinema
Redemptive Cinema is a course devoted to exploring how the fields of Christian theology (Faith) and film studies influence each other, with special attention given to the ways in which film functions as religious discourse. Students will investigate how film functions as a means of communicating theological doctrines or Christian themes through its narrative patterns. Students will also analyze how religious and secular films have been and are constructed as cultural texts that advise not only what one should believe but how one should live. (This course is cross-listed as COM 210.) 3 credits.
