New Moon is part of the Twilight series of films and is wildly popular with teenage audiences. Katie Todd, student at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Charlotte, believes using this film with teenagers can help them think about the issues of identity. Discussions with teenagers need to challenge this film’s focus on identity being wrapped up in others, especially the men we are dating and involved with. In addition, talking about the film can encourage youth to connect the theological understanding of identity as children of God with their lives and then challenge the film accordingly.
