Cinema and Sentiment

Arts & Literature

“This is a thoroughly intriguing book. Though I don't share its religious orientation, I love the way in which it recovers the sense that real audiences often report of the mysterious, the uplifting and the sometimes awesome experience of watching films.' -Martin Barker, Professor of Film and Television Studies, University of Wales, Aberystwyth 'Marsh is right! Popular movies do more than mindlessly entertain or illustrate truth already known… By considering the affective nature of the reader/viewer, Cinema and Sentiment explores the central point of connection between theology and film.' --Professor Robert K. Johnston, author of Reel Spirituality 'This is a timely contribution to the discussions around film and theology [and] will be valuable for students, academics, film buffs and other movie-goers.”

The Good Work of Non-Christians, Empowerment, and the New Creation

Theology

“Thoughtful and thought-provoking, in this lucid book Stuart Weir offers fresh insights on the work of writers such as Francis Schaeffer, John Stott, Thomas Chalmers, Richard Baxter, John Calvin, and John Wesley. Working from within his own tradition, Weir builds towards an original interpretation of the parable of the Sheep and Goats, creatively offering the reader new ways of thinking about theologies of work and the role of the Holy Spirit.”
