NEW Workshop:
The Bible and Film
March 6 - 8, 2023
Led by: Dr. Samuel Adams, Professor of Old Testament
This workshop will explore the different ways in which Christianity, the Bible, and film can be placed into mutually enriching conversation. |

How can biblical texts provide new lenses for our viewing of films? In what ways can films enrich our understanding and interpretation of Scripture? Participants will engage a variety of topics and films in the process, including actual depictions of biblical stories, Christ figures in film, monsters, the Bible and American identity in film, religious satire, and themes related to the book of Job. Individuals will suggest numerous points of contact between the films being studied, Scripture, and the ministry contexts in which they may serve. |

They all think about, spend, and give money in incredibly different ways. This three-part workshop is designed to help churches plan for the future by better understanding how and why each of these generations give. Learn how to communicate about giving and generosity more effectively and spur creative thinking around available giving tools. |
