Recenzii
There's something deliciously entertaining about looking for God in a midnight slasher film or a popular paperback horror novel. Just as tasty is discovering the horror narratives woven throughout religious scriptures. Welcome to the delights of Theology and Horror! This excellent collection of essays takes us on a tour of the movies, books, and even video games that gleefully terrorize us, asking what these collective nightmares tell us about belief, tradition, and concepts of the divine. From a gnostic reading of Cabin in the Woods, to an analysis of the resurrection of Jason Voorhees, to the religious matriarchies of Silent Hill, to an expedition through the hellscape of Clive Barker's Hellraiser franchise, this collection explores the classics, the obscure, and even the camp, each essay rich with razor sharp scholarship, biting insight, and an endless enthusiasm for the thrills and rewards of horror.
Theology and Horror provides those who wish to explore the dark twists and turns of the religious imagination a delightful expedition into the shadowy domains of horror and the divine. Moving across the centuries, this volume shines a light into the shadows, revealing that some of the most illuminating theological questions we might ask are found not only in the pages of the Bible or in the writings of monks of late antiquity, but also in the more recent haunts of ghosts, werewolves, zombies, and more. These essays decisively prove that the roads where theology, horror, and popular culture meet are worth traveling, for not only is there much to see along the way, but there are so many questions we have yet to pursue.
If you have not had the opportunity to explore the growing literature on horror and religion, Grafius and Morehead have given us a roadmap through this dark and tangled forest, full of beauties and terrors. The superb introduction ushers us into a dark hallway of essays by many of the most significant scholars in this growing, vibrant, and spooky field. This book belongs on the shelf of anyone fascinated by the constant interactions, alliances, and conflicts between religion and mass culture.
Theology and Horror edited by Brandon Grafius and John Morehead provide the reader with an expertly curated array of essays re-introducing most Christians to the biblically and religiously motivated concept of the genre of horror.
