The Spirit and the Screen engages contemporary films from the
perspective of pneumatology to give theologies of culture fruitful
new perspectives that begin with the Spirit rather than other
common theological contact points (Christology, anthropology,
theological ethics, creation, eschatology, etc.). This book
explores pertinent pneumatological issues that arise in film, as
well as literary devices that draw allusions to the Spirit. It
offers three main contributions: first, it explores how Christian
understandings of the person and work of the Spirit illuminate the
nature of film and film-making; second, it shows that there are in
fact “Spirit figures” in film (as distinct from but inseparable
from Christ-figures), even if sometimes they’re not intended as
such, “Spirit-led” characters, are moved to act
“prophetically,” against their inclinations and in excess of
their skill or knowledge and with eccentric, life-giving
creativity; third, it identifies subtle and explicit symbolizations
of the Spirit in pop culture, symbolizations that requires deep,
careful thinking about the Christian doctrine of the Spirit and
generate new horizons for cultural analysis. The contributors of
this book explore these issues, asking how Christian convictions
and experiences of the Spirit might shape the way one thinks about
films and film-making.
