How can film and cinema help us think through ecological crises in religious and theological terms?
In this book, Brett David Potter pairs ecological insights from religious stories or rituals with an example from a recent film with the goal of bringing the ancient and modern into a generative conversation. Tracing religious and literary themes (such as the tree of life, the great flood, the barren desert, and the revenge of the creatures), Potter asserts that the use of religious metaphor, imagery, and allegory remain prevalent within climate cinema.
Brett David Potter is Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at Huron University, Canada.
