Documentary as Exorcism is an interdisciplinary study that builds
upon the insights of postcolonial studies, critical race theory,
theological and religious studies and media and film studies to
showcase the role of documentary film as a system of signifying
capable of registering complex theological ideas while pursuing the
authentic aims of documentary filmmaking. Robert Beckford marries
the concepts of 'theology as visual practice' and 'theology as
political engagement' to develop a new mode of documentary
filmmaking that embeds emancipation from oppression in its
aesthetic. In various documentaries made for Channel 4 and the BBC,
Beckford narrates the complicit relationship of Christianity with
European expansion, slavery, and colonialism as a historic
manifestation of evil. In light of the cannibalistic practices of
colonialism that devoured black life, and the church's role in the
subjugation and theological legitimation of black bodies, Beckford
characterises this form of historic Christian faith as 'colonial
Christianity' and its malevolent or 'occult' practices as a form of
'bewitchment' that must be 'exorcised'. He identifies and exorcises
the evil practices of colonialism and their present impact upon
African Caribbean Christian communities in Britain in films such as
Britain's Slave Trade and Empire Pays Back through a deliberate
process of encoding/decoding. The emancipatory impact of this form
of documentary filmmaking is demonstrated by its ability to bring
issues such as reparations to the public square for debate, and its
capacity to change a corporation's trade policies for the good of
Africans.
This is a significant in-depth study that explores the cultural
context of the religious experience of West Indian immigrant
communities. Whereas most studies to date have focussed on how
immigrants settle in their new home contexts, Janice A.
McLean-Farrell argues for a more comprehensive perspective that
takes into account the importance of religion and the role of both
'home' and the 'host' contexts in shaping immigrant lives in the
Diaspora. West Indian Pentecostals: Living Their Faith in New York
and London explores how these three elements (religion, the 'home'
and 'host' contexts) influence the ethnic-religious identification
processes of generations of West Indian immigrants. Using case
studies from the cities of New York and London, the book offers a
critical cross-national comparison into the complex and indirect
ways the historical, socio-economic, and political realities in
diaspora contribute to both the identification processes and the
'missional' practices of immigrants. Its focus on Pentecostalism
also provides a unique opportunity to test existing theories and
concepts on the interface of religion and immigration and makes
important contributions to the study of Pentecostalism.
War on the Saints is Jessie Penn-Lewis's masterwork, wherein she
outlines the occurrences of Satan within the Christian world, and
the eternal battle between good and evil. The book aims to prepare
and assist Christians who are caught unguarded against the
onslaught of evil and deception which has ensued for thousands of
years. In so doing, the reader will - assuming they heed the advice
upon these pages - be better equipped versus the various obstacles,
trickery and evils that Satan and his ilk will hurl in the path of
the righteous. Penn-Lewis firmly believed that the devil was a
master manipulator, with a keen knowledge of when and who to target
in his schemes. Several of the chapters within this book detail the
different techniques employed by Satan, and how to guard against
them. Quotations of Scripture abound, boosting the author's
authority and lending much credence to her arguments.
