REL 1115 - Religion Goes to The Movies (3)

When Offered: Fall; Spring
GEN ED: Liberal Studies Experience
This course explores how religious expression communicates on film as well as how it relates to the cultural circumstances from which particular films emerged. We apply widely used theoretical approaches to the critical study of religion to provide insight into the interpretation of select films and consider how the academic study of religion relates the notions of religion, film, culture and imagination.
