from Visually Sacred: Conversations on the Power of Images · host Arthur Aghajanian

Kutter is the William K. Brehm Chair of Worship, Theology, and the Arts, as well as associate dean of the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, and associate professor of theology and culture. He is actively engaged in writing and speaking on the interaction between theology and culture—particularly film, television, and online media—in both academic and popular forums. Kutter co-chairs the Religion, Film, and Visual Culture group at the American Academy of Religion. He also partnered with Paulist Productions to produce the YouTube series Should Christians Watch? and is currently in production on a new podcast series for Christianity Today, set to launch in 2023. His professional memberships include the American Academy of Religion, American Psychological Association, and the Society of Biblical Literature. Kutter is also ordained as a Baptist minister. In this episode, Kutter and I discussed the relationship of atheism to Christianity, how the images and media of popular culture can support our spiritual journey and the theology of television. We also talked about the ways images in the media frame our ideas about the world and influence our beliefs.
