Bible in the Mass Media WT-SSTA-B
The course is devoted to acquainting the students with variegated use of biblical motifs in the mass media, especially in film. Particular attention will be devoted to modern cultural elaboration of moral questions related to the Decalogue and to filmic reworking of the universal cultural motifs contained in the book of Genesis. Elements of interreligious and ecumenical dialogue with the use of biblical motifs which are present in the mass media will also be discussed. Finally, the course will show possibilities of practical use of the mass media in catechesis based on the Bible.
