From editorial project manager Mia Staub: I went to a press screening last night for an upcoming film review I am working on. I finished the book from which the film was adapted about an hour before heading out the door without any clear sense of the angle I would take to this "non-Christian" film. |
|
Our editors sometimes ask me what movies I want to review. I am not often compelled to watch "Christian" movies (like David or The King of Kings), so I defer those reviews to people more familiar with the genre. My cup of tea is movies that involve Christian themes. |
|
I like to be surprised by movies that make me think deeper about my own faith. I remember sitting in the theater watching Elio and reflecting on my own experiences of grief and on what it means to grieve as a child. I was thoroughly engaged in Women Talking for its reckonings with sin and for how relevant that was for so many conversations in the news. Or today’s article by Aaron Griffith reflecting on how Robert Duvall engaged evangelicals in the 1997 film The Apostle is another example of art that is more generally faith-themed. Art is a nontraditional way to communicate; some things just can’t be explained with words. That is why I love movies: They give me the opportunity to interact with my faith in new and unexpected ways. |

When Jesus taught, he used parables. The kingdom of God is like yeast, a net, a pearl. Then and today, to grasp wisdom and spiritual insight, we need the concrete. We need stories. In this issue of Christianity Today, we focus on testimony—the stories we tell, hear, and proclaim about God’s redemptive work in the world. Testimony is a personal application of the Good News. You’ll read Marvin Olasky’s testimony from Communism to Christ, Jen Wilkin’s call to biblical literacy, and a profile on the friendship between theologian Miroslav Volf and poet Christian Wiman. In an essay on pickleball, David Zahl reminds us that play is also a testament to God’s grace. As you read, we hope you’ll apply the truths of the gospel in your own life, church, and neighborhood. May your life be a testimony to the reality of God’s kingdom. |
