En het woord is beeld geworden? De spannende relatie tussen protestantse theologie en filmbeschouwing

Samenvatting

In the Netherlands academic study of motion pictures is rare. Some theological circles
do offer informed opinions on motion pictures, but offer little constructive dialogue.
A well-formed and intelligent reflection on these aspects of popular culture would
serve Christians well. This article identifies differences and similarities in religious attitudes toward popular culture, media in general, and movies in particular. Progress in
these discussions requires theological discussion of the moral and anthropological
views underpinning attitudes toward movies.
