Persuasion

2 Lectures by Brian Godawa

Part 1: Incarnation

The modern Christian exclusive concentration on logic, precision and rationality has missed a fuller Biblical approach. In the Scriptures, truth and persuasion are mediated through imagination and storytelling as well. Brian addresses the power of incarnation used in Biblical storytelling and imagery. Examples from film clips are used to illustrate.

Part 2: Subversion

Brian examines the Biblical usage of subversion through storytelling as a means of engaging culture and capturing it for Christ. He shows how the Apostle Paul used subversion to retell the Stoic story in Christian terms.

Defense of the Faith

This is a different approach to apologetics than the typical way that “proves” a generic theism, then “proves” the Bible, then “proves” the resurrection.

4. Logic Part 3: fallacies

12. Technique

Bible Prophecy & the End Times: It’s Not When They Told You It Is

10-Lecture Series by Brian Godawa

The Book of Revelation is more like an Epic Horror Fantasy than a sermon. Brian explores the creative literary imagery of the First Century writings used in Revelation. The Left Behind novel series has made a gazillion dollars based on a popular view of the End Times. What would shock some Christians is to discover that this view is not Biblical. Brian examines the common beliefs of the Left Behind dogma and compares them to the Bible. He shows how the Bible itself explains how most of these prophecies have already been fulfilled. A partial preterist approach to Bible prophecy.

Video or Audio Lecture with Q & A

by Brian Godawa

84 minutes

In this latest version of his "Beyond Sex and Violence" talk, Brian talks to Christian writers and storytellers about their craft (with a focus on movies).

A very frank and popular lecture.

Horror: A Biblical Genre

Video or Audio Lecture with Q & A

by Brian Godawa

80 minutes

God likes the horror genre, or else he wouldn’t have used so much of it in the Holy Bible! Brian takes a look at examples of the horror genre in the Bible and in movies and explains how similar they can be as well as the differences. Though this is not intended to turn you into a horror fan, it will be helpful in gaining a broader understanding of the Biblical power and high value that God places on the horror genre in communicating original sin, human nature, the consequences of sin, and prophetic social commentary.

DVD LECTURES by Brian Godawa

The Book of Enoch: Scripture, Heresy or What?

This dvd video lecture by Brian Godawa will be an introduction to the ancient book of 1Enoch, its content, its history, its affirmation in the New Testament, and its acceptance and rejection by the Christian Church. What is the Book of Enoch? Where did it come from? Why isn't it in the Bible? How does the Book of Enoch compare with the Bible?

Chronicles of the Nephilim: The Ancient Biblical Story

Watchers, Nephilim, and the Divine Council of the Sons of God. In this dvd video lecture, Brian Godawa explores the Scriptures behind this transformative storyline that inspired his best-selling Biblical novel series Chronicles of the Nephilim.

Horror: A Biblical Genre

Horror is not an inherently evil genre of storytelling. It can be used for gratuitous evil purposes, or for godly moral purposes. The Bible tells many stories using the horror genre in order to inspire holy fear of evil and admonish or chastise those in sin. In this dvd video lecture, Brian Godawa presents how horror movies can be biblically redeeming.

Sex and Violence for Christian Storytellers

In this dvd video lecture, Brian Godawa examines the issue of sin depicted in the movies and in the Bible. Should Christians watch or create R-rated movies, novels or articles? Are we sinning, or opening ourselves to sin, if we expose ourselves to dramatic visual images of sex, violence & profanity?
