Rezensionen

"Combining expert film analysis with philosophical sophistication and theological depth, Joel Mayward's theoretically grounded and elegantly argued volume makes an innovative contribution to the conversation between film, philosophy and theology. His theocinematics, developed in close engagement with the films of the Dardenne Brothers, recognizes their original contributions to theological and ethical questions of guilt, redemption, spiritual formation, the meaning of human existence, and hope. A wonderful read for all those interested in the rich cinematic oeuvre of the Dardennes, and the theological and philosophical potential of cinema." - Stefanie Knauss, Villanova University, USA

"An extensive, theologically-sensitive, yet cinematically-informed treatment of the Dardennes' filmography is long overdue. Joel Mayward delivers that, here, by staging a wide and generous conversation between prominent thinkers in philosophy, film studies, and theology. Additionally, through a meticulous examination of the relationship between film and theology, he spells out why the cinema continues to be a resource for spiritual vitality, amid the aggressive currents of dehumanization." - Joseph G. Kickasola, Baylor University, USA
