In this book, he unpacks the “theology of everyday life,” exploring the Spirit of God in creation, redemption, and “general revelation” through sometimes unlikely filmmakers. It’s the first authoritative book that dissects up-to-date movies selected by the popular Internet Movie Database.

Family a Christian Social Pers $17 “An authentic vision for today’s family Thoughtful and informative, Cahill’s work brings fresh historical, theological, and ethical thought to the explosive area of family-deeply contested territory in today’s cultural and religious skirmishes. As one group of social theorists and cultural critics points to rising divorce and illegitimacy rates as symptoms of unfettered individualism and moral laxity, another side notes that the “traditional,” nuclear family is actually a product of the industrial age, with its strict gender roles, public-private split, and exclusion of an underclass. In the religious arena, evangelical- conservative vs. mainline-feminist lines echo these battles, contesting the authentic meaning of family within a Christian framework. Though “family” has been dissected in the academic and cultural wars, Cahill asserts that the usual religious agenda of restoring the traditional nuclear family is actually misinformed and misguided. It actually bolsters oppressive social, economic, and racial mechanisms that are destroying families at the bottom, middle, and even top of the ladder. Is there an authentically Christian notion of family? Cahill’s contribution shows in a striking way how very different we are counter-cultural New Testament and early- church notions of family from our ideas of “family values;” how, throughout history, other fruitful Christian examples have emerged in the work of John Chrysostom, Martin Luther, and the Puritans; how, despite distortion by gender and class divisions, there develops a Christian vision of the altruistic family, animated by Christian discipleship to stand for compassion, generosity, and justice; how pertinent this vision of the”domestic church” is to public debate and public policy.” |

Cinema and Sentiment: Film’s Challenge to Theology $19.99 “Watching any film happens within a cultural context. Cinema and Sentiment critically examines the practice of watching movies in western culture. Clive Marsh demonstrates aspects of the religious function of filmwatching by comparing watching movies to worshiping. Through a variety of case studies on the habit of going to the theater, Marsh’s study shows how watching films as a regular practice can contribute to the shaping of human living.Engaging with social and religious behavior patters in western culture, Cinema and Sentiment suggests a need to recover a positive sense of sentiment, both in theology and film.

Seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Joshua Phillips who joins his father and noted researchers like Dr. John Morris, this film brings a fresh perspective on the Theory of Evolution.

Then Comes Marriage?: A Cultural History of the American Family $14.99 “>In 1949 film star Ingrid Bergman fled to Europe following a public outcry and her denunciation by the U.S. Senate. The charge? She had an adulterous affair with director Roberto Rossellini resulting in a pregnancy, actions for which one senator called her “a horrible example of womanhood and a powerful influence for evil.” Would any star flee the country over so minor an offense today? >Author Rebecca Price Janney examines how people in other eras throughout American history conducted their relationships. How did they fall short of God’s ideal as presented in the Scriptures? How often did they get it right? What has led us to becoming a culture of “anything goes” morality? And, conversely, have there been any surprising improvements in recent years? >This book is not a culture-wars creed, but rather a historical look at the American family, showing that the pattern is more complicated than a downward spiral of morality from our country’s founding to the present. In addition, one of the intriguing features of the book is the author’s close look at marriage and relationships within subcultures that are not often considered, including those of Native Americans, Conquistadors, and slaves. >In order to better understand the state of marriage and relationships in the U.S. today, Christians need to better understand not just Scripture but our nation’s history — and “Then Comes Marriage?” gives readers an accessible, broad, and thought-provoking introduction to both.” |
