All who live yearn for freedom--freedom from political oppression, poverty, disease, crime, war, and misery in all its forms. Christians believe that only God has the infinite wisdom, resources, and will to provide what we so desperately need. The contributors to Mary, God-Bearer to a World in Need offer scholarly explorations of ways in which the woman who bore God Incarnate into human history might help humankind to open its creaturely finitude to God's infinite possibilities. By relating such topics as faith, justice, economics, family life, and interreligious dialogue to Marian doctrine, humanity gains new insights useful for healing society's bleeding wounds. In these essays, the God-Bearer becomes present to a world still very much in need of the divine grace mediated through her motherhood.

This collection of essays by biblical scholars is the first book-length treatment of the 2014 film Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky. The film has proved to be of great interest to scholars working on the interface between the Bible and popular culture, not only because it was heralded as the first of a new generation of biblical blockbusters, but also because of its bold, provocative, and yet unusually nuanced approach to the interpretation and use of the Noah tradition, in both its biblical and extra-biblical forms. The book’s chapters, written by both well-established and up-and-coming scholars, engage with and analyze a broad range of issues raised by the film, including: its employment and interpretation of the ancient Noah traditions; its engagement with contemporary environmental themes and representation of non-human animals; its place within the history of cinematic depictions of the flood, status as an ‘epic’, and associated relationship to spectacle; the theological implications of its representation of a hidden and silent Creator and responses to perceived revelation; the controversies surrounding its reception among religious audiences, especially in the Muslim world; and the nature and implications of its convoluted racial and gender politics. Noah as Antihero will be of considerable interest to scholars conducting research in the areas of religion and film, contemporary hermeneutics, reception history, religion and popular culture, feminist criticism, and ecological ethics.
