Overview

This collection presents essays that lay out the author’s Christian approach to film criticism and reviews that exemplify this critic at his most perceptive. Including interviews with award-winning actors and directors, this volume draws heavily on the author’s academic expertise and his decade of experience as an acclaimed film journalist. Whether examining the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a topical documentary, or an indie festival favorite, the book subtly, but carefully, draws attention to how films can speak to Christians and how Christian voices can enrich the conversations around their meaning and relevance.
