Hermeneutic Humility and the Political Theology of Cinema: Blind Paul / Edition 1

by Sean Desilets

Overview

This book revisits the tradition of Western religious cinema in light of scholarship on St. Paul’s political theology. Sean Desilets engages with the films of Carl-Th. Dreyer, Robert Bresson, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Carlos Reygadas and puts forward a nuanced theoretical framework that will be useful for film scholars, students of contemporary political theology, and scholars interested in the intersections of religion and media.
