Portrayals of Committed Christians in Hollywood Media (with Thomas Sieberhagen)

How are committed Christians portrayed in Hollywood media? It’s more complicated than you might think. They are often presented as foolish characters, but the bible has different categories of fools that it speaks to. What is the holy fool, and how is that person portrayed in films and TV? Join Scott as he discusses this and more with our guest Thomas Sieberhagen, pastor, community arts center director and doctoral student living in Belgium.

Thomas Sieberhagen lives and works in Belgium where he pastors a church and runs a community arts center. He's a PhD student at Leuven University in Belgium where he is researching subversive art and Christology.
