Religion and Film examines important religious themes through cinema. Selected films serve as “texts” for exploring theological and spiritual concepts across the religious spectrum. The course will examine topics such as faith, conscience, conversion, grace, reconciliation, theodicy, eschatology, sanctity, or ritual. Films chosen for consideration include a mix of classic and contemporary, foreign and Hollywood cinema.
