Much work in the field of theology and film lacks a really
theological focus. This book suggests a methodology based on the
recognition of the imagination as the fundamental category in
producing and interpreting film. The argument is presented that the
imagination holds theological significance when it is conceived of
in certain ways. As a result, the book adopts the 'paradigmatic
imagination' (an imagination which works within the paradigms of
scripture) or 'theological imagination' (one grounded in
theological forms), which is both noetic (it is the image-making
faculty of the mind) and almost ontological (it is that which draws
human beings into the future which they are able to construct or
bring into being). Once the theological (paradigmatic) imagination
has been identified and justified, its insights will be applied to
'Jesus films' and 'Christ figure films' asking whether or not they
provide us with valid Christological understanding. Films with
redemptive or salvific themes are discussed as is the popularity of
mythical stories and animation. The final chapter will make the
case that the engagement of the theological imagination with film
is a method in practical theology.
While the Christian faith has played a major part in the history of
both Wales and Scotland, there has been little previous work
looking at their histories in a comparative manner. In the light of
the establishment of the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish
Parliament, this issue is of particular contemporary importance.
This collection discusses religion in Scotland and Wales from a
historical perspective and examines the contribution of religion to
the sense of national identity in the period from the Evangelical
Revival to the present day. It suggests that the histories of the
two nations are only understood when the religious dimension is
taken seriously. The various essays collected here offer new
perspectives on particular denominations, from the Scottish
Covenanters to Welsh Methodism, as well as discussing individual
figures such as Howell Harris, Edward Irving and Arthur Price, in
order to examine the complex relationship between language,
national identity and religion. Religion and National Identity is
an original and timely contribution, not only to the religious
histories of Wales and Scotland, but also to the collective history
of Great Britain in the modern period.
