Synopsis: In Hearing a Film, Seeing a Sermon New Testament scholar and experienced pastor Timothy Cargal teaches pastors some of the basics of interpreting films, so that they can integrate insights about popular films into their preaching. Cargal helps trained preachers expand their skills to communicate more effectively about movies and to use these powerful conduits of popular culture in their weekly preaching. Recognizing the cultural power of films, Cargal explains how people see and think about movies and then demonstrates for pastors how this connects with the way parishioners comprehend Scripture and theology.
