Dead Poets Society, Star Wars, Amadeus, Ordinary People---movies show concern for deep human issues, just as the Bible does. Jewett takes Paul's approach of interpreting the Gospel on other people's turf to begin a dialogue between Christianity and popular culture. Treating films and biblical passages with equal respect, he pairs each major Pauline theme with a companion film. He points out the similarities and divergences between the two, turning movies into a source of discovering and debating moral, cultural, and religious issues.
