Welcome to Message Behind the Movie.Com!

This website supports the book The Message Behind the Movie (Moody Publishers, 2009) by providing sample evaluations and additional materials.

Christian books on movies often discuss Hollywood’s messages without teaching readers how to evaluate movies themselves. The Message Behind the Movie seeks to accomplish this, as well as instruct believers in what to do about those messages. Readers will be able to understand the basics of movie interpretation, identify and interpret key ideas, and provide an uncomplicated defense of the Christian message. In a fun and approachable style, apologetics instructor and lover of movies Douglas Beaumont will help enable readers to wisely engage with a film — to engage the culture — without disengaging their faith.
