| Summary: | Much has been written about Christian media criticism. First, I survey the field’s major works to identify four types of Christian media criticism. Next, I offer a critical perspective that puts the sacramental view of media and the concept of transposition in conversation. By reviewing the award-winning film Minari with this perspective in mind, I demonstrate that sacramentality does not rest in media products themselves, nor in critics’ technique. Rather, sacramentality is born of spiritual Encounter. Finally, I suggest that such perspective can function apologetically, in a limited sense, by equipping film/media critics to engage secular audiences in pop-culture spaces. |
