Cinema can be a vital partner in fostering Christian thought. Christians have historically engaged the arts to convey their faith and values. Faith and Film examines the influence of film and television on societal beliefs and behaviors, the messages conveyed by popular films, and the need for a constructive engagement between Christianity and cinema. Author Bryan Stone also reflects on the power of film and television to shape faith, values, and behavior and underscores the importance of Christians learning to engage with media and culture responsibly.

Faith & Film encourages a dialogue between Christian theology and popular film, emphasizing that this dialogue should be two-way, with film shedding light on faith and faith challenging the messages of film. It suggests that cinema can be a powerful tool for teaching and enriching Christian faith claims while also critiquing the implicit assumptions of popular film.
