{"product_id":"9781441239099","title":"Reading Is Believing: The Christian Faith through Literature and Film","description":"In this fascinating and fresh look at the Apostles' Creed, David Cunningham argues that reading fiction and film can lead Christians to a deeper, more precise, and more experiential knowledge of their faith. Drawing on novels, plays, and films by the likes of Dickens, Shakespeare, P. D. James, and Graham Greene, Cunningham discusses the Apostles' Creed in detail, using one primary text to illuminate each article.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCunningham begins with a brief history of the Christian creeds and their significance. In addition to plot summaries, each chapter includes discussion questions addressing the relationship between literature and faith and concludes with a works cited list and a list for further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will delight Christians who want to better understand the creeds and basic doctrinal confessions of the Christian faith. While academics, theologians, and literature and film aficionados will celebrate \u003cbr\u003eCunningham's keen literary and theological insights, the book is equally readable for those with little background in these fields of study. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReading Is Believing\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal text for Christian education classes, adult Sunday school, and church-based book clubs. It will serve well as a text in theology courses, as well as various courses in the humanities, ethics, and cultural and religious studies.","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128215060720,"sku":"9781441239099","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441239099_p0.jpg?v=1763796492","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441239099","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
