Ed McNulty, a former pastor and longtime reviewer of films, offers this guide to help church leaders enter into dialogue with contemporary films. McNulty carefully crafts a theology of movies and then provides practical suggestions for creating and leading movie discussions with groups. In addition, he provides people from all across the theological spectrum with a framework to understand whether the overall message of a film outweighs concerns over profanity, violence, or sex in the film. He concludes by introducing twenty-seven films and including provocative questions about each that will prepare leaders to assemble and facilitate a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePopular films explored include \u003ci\u003eThe Color Purple\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHotel Rwanda\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMillion Dollar Baby\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eO Brother, Where Art Thou?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Shawshank Redemption\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward N.
