Films provide a
lens through which we can often better perceive the attitudes and values which
pervade our culture. In his book Catching
Light: Looking For God In The Movies (Eerdmans), Roy M. Anker deals
with 19 movies – from “Star Wars” to “The Godfather” – and shows how
they reflect and express spiritual and religious truth. Anker demonstrates the
ways in which movies reflect idea like evil, redemption, and the search for
God.
