Faith, Film, & Philosophy, ch. 2

I love Big Fish; my wife hates it. I have a little 'artist' in me; my wife does not. This chapter considers many important themes: facts/fiction, love/relationships, grace/acceptance. And, in the process, we find ourselves. The stories we love, live and that capture our heart reflect the story we believe we are living. Of course, we can believe untrue things about ourselves and therefore love narrative that is dangerous or misleading. The Christian community has come around stories at the suggestion of popular theologians and writers.
