ETW Catholic Literature - Film

Catalog description

his course, which fulfills both a Catholic Studies and an English requirement, is concerned with the translation of specifically Catholic literature into film. We shall be examining seven texts in the course, all of which have been adapted for the screen. We shall be reading five novels, one play, and a collection of sermons. This collection of the sermons of the late Archbishop of San Salvador Oscar Romero is not directly parallel to the film bearing his name, Romero, but the spirit of the sermons is deeply reflected in the filmed depiction of the man. All the other works have been intentionally adapted into their filmed counterparts.
