Richard Goodwin on Seeing Film with Eyes of Faith

Summary

In Francis Schaeffer’s classic book Art and the Bible he wrote, “Is the creative part of our life committed to Christ? Christ is the Lord of our whole life and the Christian life should produce not only truth—flaming truth—but also beauty.” He argued that art is important to the Christian life because it is a work of creativity and God is the Creator. Moreover, since man is created in the image of God, he has the capacity to create, and that makes his works of art meaningful. My guest on today’s show argues that we ought to take the works of art in film seriously and view them as opportunities to experience our Creator. His name is Richard Goodwin and we discussed his new book Seeing Is Believing.   Richard Vance Goodwin (Ph.D., University of Otago) is a film expert and adjunct assistant professor of theology and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary.   Take advantage of getting 30% off on Seeing Is Believing with code FILTER until October 3: https://www.ivpress.com/seeing-is-believing  Check out the full show notes for this episode: www.aaronshamp.com/podcast/richard-goodwin    SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://www.aaronshamp.com/support    –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Track: Perseverance — Land of Fire [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/filterpodcast/message
