The special issue responds to two concurrent phenomena: the
re-emergence in the 21st century of religion as a political and
cultural force, and its resurgence in a range of theoretical
discourses, from postsecularism to New Atheism. Mirroring this
theoretical and cultural turn, cinema across the world is renewing
its acquaintance with religion as private practice, public display
and political force and exploring overlapping material, spiritual
and doctrinal concerns in the new millennium. This issue probes
intersections between contemporary cinema and diverse theoretical,
philosophical and theological engagements with religion. It
compares cinema's capacity to present visual expressions of faith,
evoke embodied experience and varied modalities of love, correlate
earthly and divine realities and inspire belief and doubt with
writings on religion and postsecularism. Contributors explore ideas
about transcendence, vocation, affliction, love, doubt and forms of
religious practice and expression that connect specific films with
theoretical accounts that look beyond the secular.
