Eucharistic Imagery In Film: Two Patterns Of Usage, Caesar A. Montevecchio 2015 Mercyhurst University

Journal of Religion & Film

In Christian tradition, the primary effects of the Eucharist are the formation of koinonia and the facilitating of metanoia. Metaphorically, these effects make the Eucharist a symbol of community building and personal transformation. However, the way that such symbolic meaning is emplotted in film can vary between two distinct approaches. Augmentative usage uses Eucharistic symbols to deepen and amplify narrative instances of community building, such as by family gathering or reconciliation between characters, or character growth. In ironic usage, Eucharistic symbols elicit standards of virtue and goodness that help critique actions or events that damage koinonia or prevent characters …

A Response To Poverty, Colleen R. Murray 2015 Loyola Marymount University

A Response To Poverty, Colleen R. Murray

LMU Theses and Dissertations

The belief of “imago Dei” forms a basis of establishing that human life has …
