What is the place of religious belief in modern culture? Recent
years have seen cataclysmic chab=nges in society, yet, far from
being banished from today's world, religion is assuming a new
significance. Clashing Symbols has become recognised as the most
accessible and authoritative introduction to a crucial area in
religious studies: the relationship between faith and culture.
Movies are often examined for subtext and dramatizations of social
and psychological issues as well as current movements. Studies of
well-known Catholic directors, such as Alfred Hitchcock and John
Ford, have made the search for Catholic themes a reputable field of
examination. Through a Catholic Lens continues the search for these
themes and examines the Catholic undercurrents by studying nineteen
film directors from around the world. Although these directors may
or may not be practicing Catholics, their Catholic background can
be found in their writing and directing. Each chapter, written by a
different contributor, analyzes one film of each director for its
Catholic motifs. With the recent increase of cinema studies, this
collection will be of interest to students and academics as well as
cinema buffs.

Much of the language of the church--messiah, kingdom, lord--belongs
to the realm of politics as much as it does that of religion. Yet,
given the tendency in Western society to treat politics as the
business of government and moral instruction as the prerogative of
the church, the teaching of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount is
habitually regarded as an example of the latter to the neglect of
its political content. This book challenges this limitation of
politics to statecraft as it identifies Christian social practices,
such as nonviolence, enemy-love, and unlimited generosity, as
laying the foundation for a community that is more truly political,
that is, more properly ordered, than are its secular alternatives.
The close exegesis of the Sermon on the Mount unfolds through an
engagement with the theologies of Gustavo Gutierrez and John Howard
Yoder. Indeed, this study brings together the work of these two
important twentieth-century theologians for the first time. New
Testament and theological scholars and students as well as those
interested in the relation of religion and politics will learn from
and be challenged by this important book.
