Christ, Culture, and Cinema
Jeffrey Skopak and Michael Popp explore the intersection of faith, cinema, and the contemporary context of American culture. Using both classic movies as well as new releases, Skopak and Popp discuss how the cultural collisions of the twenty-first century are reflected in the movies and how Scripture speaks faith, comfort, and direction for the follower of Jesus.
