Of course, film has developed greatly since the Lumi�re brothers by adding components such as sound, special effects, digitalrecording, and more to create an increasingly complex artistic medium. Historically, film studies has often focused on the narrative aspect of film as it seeks to tell a story. More recent studies, however, have turned attention to other elements offilm, such as the musical score. Yet, film remains, in a sense, a series of images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this Studies in Theology and the Arts (STA) volume, theologian Richard Goodwin considers how the images that constitute film might be a conduit of God's revelation. By considering works by Carl Theodor Dreyer, Stanley Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Bresson, Martin Scorsese, Terrence Malick, and more, Goodwin argues that by inviting emotional responses, film images can be a medium of divine revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlessed are those who have seen God... through film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Studies in Theology and the Arts series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Vance Goodwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40701294182449,"sku":"9781514002001","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781514002001.jpg?v=1780471154","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781514002001_seeing-is-believing","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
