Faith, Film, & Philosophy, Introduction

"Those who tell stories rule society" said Plato. This quote sets the tone of the seriousness of film in general and this book in specific. The most foundational questions of life are the curriculum of philosophy. And, most Americans get whatever philosophy to which they will ascribe from film. The endeavor of thinking through the assumptions, issues, arguments and worldview of these films is critical for anyone who would have a voice in this society.
