Overview

In Using Film to Teach New Testament, Mark Boyer presents to literate educators, a method of using movies to teach the basic New Testament themes to students. Boyer helps bridge the hermeneutical gap between a reading method of learning and a video method of learning. Not only does Boyer explain the method, but offers examples for using it to teach the major books of the New Testament, while providing exercises and discussion questions to be used by teachers, students, and the casual reader, in order to bridge the gap between the first and twenty-first centuries.

Editorial Reviews

While preaching is a different exercise from teaching, there is much in this book that preachers could adapt and use, including watching closely and interpreting contemporary films with gospel lenses. For those parishes with movie nights or film clubs, here's a few years' worth of good line-ups.

High school and college teachers may find this a helpful stimulus for their own work.

From the Publisher

Boyer describes a teaching method which uses popular movies to explore themes encountered in the New Testament. Topics include, for example, martyrdom in "Witness" and The Gospel of Luke and apocalypse in "Waterworld" and The Book of Revelation. A modernized film interpretation of Shakespeare's provides the basis for a discussion of biblical hermeneutics. Boyer teaches religious studies at Southwest Missouri State University. The volume is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
