Hermeneutic Humility and the Political Theology of Cinema

This book revisits the tradition of Western religious cinema in light of scholarship on St. Paul’s political theology. Sean Desilets engages with the films of Carl-Th. Dreyer, Robert Bresson, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Carlos Reygadas and puts forward a nuanced theoretical framework that will be useful for film scholars, students of contemporary political theology, and scholars interested in the intersections of religion and media.
