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. \u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Libby Saxton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474461565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474461566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.30d","brand":"Libby Saxton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518584598783,"sku":"9781474461566","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88855aa4-3e5d-40e5-903f-5959bc0dbcc1.jpg?v=1778734868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-in-contemporary-thought-and-libby-saxton-9781474461566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
