St. Augustine’s-in-the-Woods, 5217 S. Honeymoon Bay Rd., Freeland —
With a lively mix of biblical criticism, Christology, art history, film studies, and movie lore, the Rev. Jim Friedrich explores how we picture Jesus, what happens when sacred text is translated into popular image, and whether cinema brings something new to our understanding of Jesus.
This four-week series concludes with a screening of the film “Son of Man,” which sets the Jesus story in a fictional 21st century African country. A compelling black Jesus, creative visual design, and powerful singing make this uniquely memorable film a standout.
