- More about The Spirit and the Screen: Pneumatological Reflections on Contemporary Cinema
The Spirit and the Screen explores pneumatology in contemporary films to provide new theological perspectives on culture, focusing on the nature of film and film-making, the presence of "Spirit figures" in film, and subtle and explicit symbolizations of the Spirit in pop culture.

The Spirit and the Screen delves into contemporary films, offering fresh theological perspectives that start with the Spirit rather than traditional theological touchstones like Christology, anthropology, theological ethics, creation, and eschatology. This book explores relevant pneumatological themes in film and literary devices that allude to the Spirit, making three significant contributions. Firstly, it examines how Christian understandings of the person and work of the Spirit shed light on the nature of film and filmmaking. Secondly, it demonstrates that there are "Spirit figures" in film, distinct from but inseparable from Christ figures, even if they are not always intended as such. These "Spirit-led" characters are driven to act prophetically, defying their inclinations and surpassing their skill or knowledge with eccentric, life-giving creativity. Thirdly, the book identifies subtle and explicit symbolizations of the Spirit in popular culture, requiring deep and thoughtful consideration of Christian doctrine regarding the Spirit and opening up new horizons for cultural analysis. The contributors to this book engage in these discussions, exploring how Christian convictions and experiences of the Spirit can influence our understanding and appreciation of films and filmmaking.
