About this ebook
Saving the World and Healing the Soul treats the heroic and redemptive trials of Jason Bourne, Bruce Wayne, Bella Swan, and Katniss Everdeen. The Bourne films, Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, the Twilight saga, and the Hunger Games series offer us stories to live into, to make connection between our personal loves and trials and a good order of the world.
About the author
David McCarthy has over twenty years of experience teaching theology and ethics. More to the point, he has been teaching a course on theology and film since 2008. For the last four years, he has been developing the course by drawing on Kurt's expertise. David contributed a chapter to the Cascade book on theology and The Wire, and he is currently writing for Cascade's forthcoming collection on Mad Men.
Kurt Blaugher has been teaching theater in a liberal arts curriculum for thirty years. He has engaged with theologians and theological analysis for nearly as many years by teaching within Mount St. Mary's strong, interdisciplinary core curriculum. Recently, he has written on ways that dramatic narrative and theatrical performance shape moral perspectives: "Stirring Hearts and Minds," in Where Justice and Mercy Meet (2013).
