The Spirit and the Screen
The Spirit and the Screen engages contemporary films from the perspective of pneumatology to give theologies of culture fruitful new perspectives that begin with the Spirit rather than other common theological contact points (Christology, anthropology, theological ethics, creation, eschatology, etc.). This book explores pertinent pneumatological issues that arise in film, as well as literary devices that draw allusions to the Spirit. It offers three main contributions: first, it explores how Christian understandings of the person and work of the Spirit illuminate the nature of film and film-making; second, it shows that there are in fact “Spirit figures” in film (as distinct from but ins...

Franz Jagerstatter
Franz Jèagerstèatter, an Austrian farmer, devoted husband and father, and devout Catholic, was executed in 1943 for refusing to serve in the Nazi army. Before taking this stand Jèagerstèatter had consulted both his pastor and his local bishop, who instructed him to do his duty and to obey the law - an instruction that violated his conscience. For many years Jèagerstèatter's solitary witness was honored by the Catholic peace movement, while viewed with discomfort by many of his fellow Austrians. Now, with his beatification in 2007, his example has been embraced by the universal church.

Mäuselmacher
Von 1715 bis 1723 fand in der Bischofsstadt Freising einer der letzten deutschen Hexenprozesse statt. Bettelnde Kinder waren in den Verdacht geraten, Mäuse gezaubert zu haben. Wie ihre Vernehmung und eine langwierige Untersuchung ergaben, sollen sie Gott abgeschworen und sich dem Bösen verschrieben haben. Die meisten von ihnen wurden exekutiert. In ihrem Ringen ums Überleben berichten die Vernommenen von seltsamen dämonischen Erlebnissen und Taten. Wie in einem Vexierspiel vermengen ihre Geständnisse Realität und Imagination zu einer irritierenden Wirklichkeit. Doch dieser undurchsichtige Entwurf läßt sich entwirren und in seiner Doppelbödigkeit zeigen. Was Hexerei war oder bedeutete, erscheint somit in einem veränderten Licht, sobald man die Geständnisse angeblicher Hexen oder Hexer einer sorgfältigen Analyse unterzieht. Rainer Beck, der durch seine klassische Studie über Unterfinning bekannt geworden ist, führt die Leser in diesem Buch Schritt für Schritt in bizarre Vorstellungswelten der Vormoderne ein und legt am Beispiel des Freisinger Hexenprozesses eine Kulturgeschichte der konfessionellen Gesellschaft am Vorabend der Aufklärung vor.
