Saint Paul Returns to the Movies: Triumph Over Shame

Cover for Saint Paul Returns to the Movies: Triumph Over Shame
  • Year: 1998
  • Publisher: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.

In this compelling sequel to his Saint Paul at the Movies, Robert Jewett brings another selection of contemporary films into dialogue with the biblical worldview. Jewett discusses ten major Hollywood movies that focus on the theme of shame and interprets them in the light of what St. Paul's letters say on the subject. His compelling analysis not only shows the cinema's unique capacity to unmask one of the deepest dilemmas of the human heart, but also offers the revolutionary view that the triumph of grace over shameful status, circumstances, and experiences lies at the heart of Paul's theology.
