Lights, Camera…Faith!
The Ten Commandments

Rose Pacatte, FSP and Peter Malone, MSC

Enliven your study of the Christian faith by discovering movies as a moral laboratory.

In this volume of Lights, Camera…Faith!, Rose Pacatte, FSP and Peter Malone, MSC, offer an exciting approach to adult faith formation by creating a dialogue between Scripture, the Ten Commandments, and film. By exploring the drama of the moral life through movies, Lights, Camera…Faith! The Ten Commandments grapples with the reality of temptation, choices, motivation, and consequences, and the faith-filled and informed Christian response to life’s situations. Three movies are offered for each commandment, providing material for different viewers: a film appropriate for a general adult audience, a film with themes calling for more in-depth discussion, and a film that treats more difficult issues.

With fresh insight into God’s covenant of love, this is a valuable resource for catechetical leaders, adult faith-formation programs, parish discussion groups, young adult groups, film educators and professionals—and anyone who appreciates deeper meaning in movies.
