Black Mirror, Netflix's dystopian anthology, probes what it means
to be human in a technological world. While the show raises
interesting, if not disturbing, questions, it refrains from giving
answers, putting the onus on viewers to continue the conversation.
Accordingly, Theology and Black Mirror engages questions and
prominent themes in Black Mirror with resources from the Christian
tradition, including the academic disciplines of biblical studies,
theology, philosophy, and ethics.
Description: What if the way the book of Esther has been taught to
us in church and retold to us in films, cartoons, and romance
novels has missed the original point of the story? Far from being
models of piety and devotion, Esther and Mordecai seem indifferent
to the faith of their ancestors. How then did this story become
part of the Bible and gain the broad acceptance that it has? If the
church should not neglect the story, how should it be read? Esther
and Her Elusive God calls Christians to avoid the common attempts
to make Esther more palatable and theological, and to reclaim this
secular story as Scripture. Readers will be encouraged to see in
Esther a profound message of God's grace and faithfulness to his
wayward people.
Ecclesia and Ethics considers the subject of Ecclesial Ethics
within its theological, theoretical and exegetical contexts. Part
one presents the biblical-theological foundations of an ecclesial
ethic - examining issues such as creation, and Paul's theology of
the Cross. Part two moves on to examine issues of character
formation and community. Finally, part three presents a range of
exegetical applications, which examine scripture and ethics in
praxis. These essays look at hot-button issues such as the 'virtual
self' in the digital age, economics, and attitudes to war. The
collection includes luminaries such as N.T. Wright, Michael J.
Gorman, Stanley Hauerwas and Dennis Hollinger, as well as giving
space to new theological and exegetical voices. As such Ecclesia
and Ethics provides a challenging and contemporary examination of
modern ethical debates in the light of up-to-date theology and
exegesis.
