Consuming Bollywood, Anjali Gera Roy

Journal of Religion & Film

Hindi popular cinema, marked with sartorial, visual and material excess, has paradoxically portrayed acquisition of wealth or unregulated consumption as inimical to the Chaturvarga philosophy, or the idea that an individual should seek four goods – Artha (wealth), Kama (pleasure), Dharma (duty) and Moksha (renunciation) - in moderation in order to lead a balanced life. While its visual imagery is largely oriented towards Artha or pleasure, Dharma, in its meaning as duty, has been the prime motivation of Hindi or Bombay cinema’s characters and structures the cinematic conflict and action. However, Hindi cinema appears to have undergone a phase-shift in …

The Monstrous Other And The Biblical Narrative Of Ruth, Jonathan Lyonhart, Jennifer Matheny

Journal of Religion & Film

Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water (2017) restages the biblical narrative of Ruth in Cold War America, crystallizing the parallel through setting numerous scenes at a local cinema that is playing The Story of Ruth (1960). The book of Ruth tells the tale of how a non-Israelite outsider could be welcomed into the kingdom of God and ultimately into the lineage of Christ. Likewise, del Toro populates his tale with multiple outsiders—multiple ‘Ruths’—including a mute woman, an African American cleaner, a Russian Communist, and an elderly homosexual male. However, these are merely reflections of the ultimate outsider, Del Toro’s …

Islam, Immigrants, And The Angry Young Man: Laurent Cantet And The “Limits Of Fabricated Realism”, Elizabeth Toohey

Journal of Religion & Film

My paper juxtaposes Laurent Cantet’s films The Class (2008) and The Workshop (2017) to explore how they are infused with concerns about radical Islam and the place of Muslim immigrants in the West. Both films center on "angry young men" facing class-based marginalization, who are prone to anti-social behavior. In The Workshop, however, a great effort is made to reveal the intellectual potential and moral complexity of the young white French-born Antoine, whose alienation is defined by his attraction to the xenophobic and Islamophobic rhetoric of the Far Right, whereas viewers of The Class are kept at arm’s length …

Corruption As Shared Culpability: Religion, Family, And Society In Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan (2014), Maria Hristova

Journal of Religion & Film

This article engages in close analysis of how Andrey Zvyagintsev depicts corruption and its various manifestations: moral, familial, societal, and institutional, in Leviathan (Leviafan, 2014). While other post-Soviet films address the problem of prevalent corruption in Russia, Zvyagintsev’s work is the first to provoke strong public reactions, not only from government and Russian Orthodox Church officials, but also from Orthodox and political activist groups. The film demonstrates that the instances of legal and moral failings in one aspect of existence are a sign of a much deeper and wider-ranging problem that affects all other spheres of human experience. …

ضوابط تلقي الأخبار ونقلها في القرآن الكريم، وقفات مع قول الله عز وجل : وإذا جاءهم أمر من الأمن أو الخوف أذاعوا به..", Ziad Hajj

Al Jinan الجنان

المجتمع المسلم مجتمع مترابط متماسك، لا تؤثر فيه الشائعات ولا ينتابه من القلاقل ما يبعث على الخوف والحزن بين عباد الله، لأن المرجعية فيه هي لرسول الله المرشد القائد القدوة صلوات الله وسلامه عليه، ومن بعده لأولي الأمر الذين يستنبطون من كتاب الله ومن سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما يحقّقون به المصلحة العامة للمجتمع المسلم. ولقد أرشد الله سبحانه وتعالى عباده المؤمنين إلى هذا الأمر الذي هو في غاية الأهمية، فقال جل شأنه :" وإذا جاءهم أمر من الأمن أو الخوف أذاعوا به ولو ردوه إلى الرسول وإلى أولي الأمر منهم لعلمه الذين يستنبطونه منهم" النساء آية …

الفتوى وتأثرها بالمتغيرات الاقتصادية, Bashar Ejel

Al Jinan الجنان

لايخلو عصر من العصور من ظواهر اجتماعية واقتصادية وحوادث نازلة ومستجدة وطارئة يكون لها الأثر القوي في سلوك أفراد المجتمع، وتجعل الفقيه ينظر لبعض الأحكام الشرعية هل يفتي بها على الأصل ، أو أن ما حدث يُبيح تغيّر الفتوى بما يحقق قواعد الشريعة، ومراعاة مقاصدها،فينقل السائل من الحكم الأصلي إلى حكم جديد مع مراعاة ما تقدم. فقد عقد ابنُ القيم رحمه الله فصلا بعنوان :"تغيّر الفتوى واختلافها بحسب تغير الأزمنة والأمكنة والأحوال والنيات والعوائد".وقد تغيرت أوضاع كثيرة داخل العالم الإسلامي وخارجه، ونال هذا التغيير النظم السياسية والتشريعية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية، بكل جوانبها تقريبا. وإن طبيعة الفقه الإسلامي التغير والتطور والثبات والتجدد.وإن …

فلسفة تعدد الصواب في الاجتهاد كمنهج يدعو لوحدة المسلمين, Bashar Quahwaji

Al Jinan الجنان

This research calls on all parties and actors on the Islamic arena to accept and consolidate and entrench the principle of “the multiplicity of righteousness” that the decision of the street-wise, which is based on mutual respect for the opinions and judgments of others, and not monopolize the right people or parties at the expense of others, forgive each other while we disagree it, and unite among ourselves as unknowable agreed upon, to achieve the charity has accepted us to the Almighty, saying: (You were the best nation on earth people Propagation of Virtue and forbidding what is evil, and …

Improving Upon Traditional American Premarital Counseling Methods: Teaching A Foundational Theology For A Marriage Of Servanthood, Gregory D. Milewski

Masters of Theological Studies

The intention of this thesis is to stir up marriage counselors into taking a fresh look at their methods for preparing and educating American couples for marriage, as the research will show that couples need much more than mere test results and analytics. Couples need more than a diagnosis; they need the prognosis of the path for healing. The programs developed by Christian therapists that are used in many churches in America do a great job at showing areas where couples are strong and where they need work, but too little is done to address their core beliefs about marriage …

Leading The Dispersed Church: A Case Study Of Connectivism In Piedmont Chapel, W. Ray Williams

Journal of Applied Christian Leadership

Connectivism is a learning theory first proposed by Siemens and Downes (2005, 2009) as a learning theory for the digital age. This theory proposes that learning may occur external to the learner and teacher; it exists in the multiple complex networks with which the learner associates. In 2020, Corbett and Spinello followed up on Siemen’s work to move connectivism from a learning theory to a leadership theory. Connectivism is a leadership theory that specifically works in modern churches. This theory emphasizes the connectedness of all knowledge and the mutuality of those connections, becoming a tool used to build better teams …
