In theaters now: ‘The Bible and Cinema’ May Term course

Sunday, March 27th, 2016

The late Alan Rickman (known well for his role as Professor Snape) has said, “It’s a human need to be told stories.” Stories are a powerful tool that excite our imagination, shape our identities, and bring us hope.

Whether told through the mediums of book or film, stories deeply impact us. With the release of Son of God (2014), Noah (2014), Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) and the most recent Risen (2016) and The Young Messiah (2016), the biblical story continues to powerfully shape society, the church and the film industry.

A May Term course, “The Bible and Cinema,” will involve discussion of movies and dialogue about some intriguing theological topics such as the afterlife (heaven, hell, angels and demons), community, redemption, violence and forgiveness. We are looking forward to seeing you at the movies!

Jenny and Art Matheny will serve as instructors. Classes will meet in Hoover 208 from 9 a.m. to noon daily between May 2-20. For more information, contact Paula Hampton at phampton@georgefox.edu or ext. 2650.

Benedictine monk speaks in final LACI lecture Monday

Thursday, March 24th, 2016

All are welcome to the final Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture this Monday, March 28, when Rev. Peter Eberle, a Benedictine monk at Mount Angel Abbey and Seminary, speaks on the topic “Is the Benedictine Option Benedictine?” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Rod Dreher, an American conservative Christian, has proposed the “Benedict Option” as a response to our contemporary secular culture. Rev. Eberle will explore the proposed option and, describing and drawing from his own experience as a Benedictine monk, will consider whether the option is “Benedictine.” What are the similarities? What are the differences?

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
