Presbyterians Today Online: PT Media Picks

The Presbyterian Church (USA) publication Presbyterians Today has added a feature to its online version: PT Media Picks.

The print issue of Media Picks features the top ten "must see" films of 2004, as chosen by Edward McNulty, who is a Presbyterian minister and the editor of Visual Parables, a journal of film and theology. Hotel Rwanda (pictured at left) is his top pick and discussed online. His other nine picks for 2004 are in the print edition of PT, but he lists seven other films that he considers worth checking out at PT Online.

Another valuable feature of PT Media Picks is its media study guides. In March, Editor Teresa Blythe, who writes about religion and popular culture, focuses on the TV show Joan of Arcadia (with an episode-by-episode mini guide), the book The Da Vinci Code, and the film The Passion of the Christ (a special guide for Presbyterian viewers written by McNulty).

Finally, PT Media Picks includes current book reviews. The books featured this month are Leadership Wisdom from Unlikely Sources (author Dave Fleming), Restless in Christ: Answering the Call to Spiritual Commitment (author Sarah Stockton), and Writers in the Spirit (author Carol J. Rottman).
