MOVING IMAGE:
FILM,
VIDEO, AND DIGITAL ARTS IN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION
"Moving Image" is the fourth in a series of five symposia
of the Society for the Arts, Religion and Contemporary Culture
focusing on the role of the arts in theological education. The
influence of film, video and digital arts in contemporary culture
has often been studied. But their function in theological education
is as yet unclear even as they begin to find their way into religious
services. With steady consistency, these media have been used
for decades to explore "the spiritual liberation of the soul"
(Viola), to probe the theological dimensions of banality and depravity
("Pulp Fiction"), to infuse religious themes with visceral
immediacy ("The Passion of the Christ").
Whether the intention of the artist is to explore, challenge,
or affirm religious sensibilities, the influence and prevalence of these media on the American religious landscape cannot
be ignored. We invite you to examine the impact and possibilities
of these "moving images" on the religious life of the
culture.

The ARC Story
From time

identifies as having made a distinguished contribution to their
respective fields. The list of Fellows elected over a period of
