142 | Jochen Mündlein avoid the impression of eclecticism with regard to individual religious mo- tifs in the movies. Overall, the theological film analyses and liturgical applications offer a very good introduction to the field of film and theology for students of the- ology and in studies of Christianity. The overview of the various topics of the Christian tradition, their everyday relevance and the discussion of the medium of film from an ethical perspective illustrate the central impor- tance of this field for contemporary religious questions. The two comple- mentary sections of the book, film analysis and application, will be particu- larly inspiring for students and those interested in theological film work, as they draw attention to the religious horizon of the reception of films and at the same time encourage the productive use of films themselves in church services.
