Religion and cinema share a capacity for world making, ritualizing, mythologizing, and creating sacred time and space. Through cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, and other production activities, ...film takes the world "out there" and refashions it. Religion achieves similar ends by setting apart particular objects and periods of time, telling stories, and gathering people together for communal actions and concentrated focus. The result of both cinema and religious practice is a re-created world: a world of fantasy, a world of ideology, a world we long to live in, or a world we wish to avoid at all costs. Religion and Film introduces readers to both religious studies and film studies by focusing on the formal similarities between cinema and religious practices and on the ways they each re-create the world. Explorations of film show how the cinematic experience relies on similar aesthetic devices on which religious rituals have long relied: sight, sound, the taste of food, the body, and communal experience. Meanwhile, a deeper understanding of the aesthetic nature of religious rituals can alter our understanding of film production. Utilizing terminology and theoretical insights from the study of religion as well as the study of film, Religion and Film shows that by paying attention to the ways films are constructed, we can shed new light on the ways religious myths and rituals are constructed and vice versa. This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition is designed to appeal to the needs of courses in religion as well as film departments. In addition to two new chapters, this edition has been restructured into three distinct sections that offer students and instructors theories and methods for thinking about cinema in ways that more fully connect film studies with religious studies.
Parenting does this in part because it is a wholistic enterprise, engaging: body, mind, and spirit; economics, politics, and history; gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity; eating, sleeping, and ...being bored. Parents bear a great amount of responsibility for giving their children values, rules, and limits, but raising children is also a continuous act of letting them go: to school, to friends' houses, to other political and religious points of view, off to another city to live. ...each of the contributors takes historical views on religious traditions and updates them through their own activities, their own ways of making sense of family life.

With this, we have also noted the impact of technology on our lives, the importance of evidence-based public policy, and the need for health care accessibility in both urban and rural areas. ...there ...is the global climate change crisis that constantly looms in the background, a cataclysmic event so enormous that most of us cannot really grasp it. Among other terrible components, 2020 was the hottest year on record around the globe (tied with 2016), Australia's wildfires from the year are estimated to have killed or displaced three billion animals, and California's wildfires are contributing to the worst air quality in decades throughout the west coast. ...we are updating and extending our longtime, unofficial motto which read "the wisdom of the heart and the life of the mind,"2 to suggest, Crosscurrents connects the wisdom of the heart with the life of the mind and the experiences of the body. Because the critical issues of today-racism, the environment, gender and sex disparities, economic imbalances-are so resolutely physical we understand that hearts and minds are essential, but they will accomplish nothing apart from bodies rooted in spaces and times. ...to go along with these changes, we have also launched a brand-new website at https://www.aprilonline.org/.

Beginning its sixth year of publication,
Material Religion is an interdisciplinary journal that seeks to gather the best work from around the world engaged in materializing the study of religions. ...The editors welcome original scholarship on any religion and from any period in human history that treats material objects and practices as primary evidence and engages in critical reflection on the cultural construction of materiality. In this article the editors reflect on the formation and format of the journal, the force and direction of its articles and other features, the question of what constitutes the material culture of religion, and finally the role of materiality in the current study of religions. Along the way, the editors consider new theories and concerns that have been taken up in the journal's pages and address the range of disciplines and interests that are represented in the different departments of the journal.
