1. Mirror Mirror on the Wall: The Bible and Ethics in Jordan Peele's 2019 film Us.

Author

Reinhartz, Adele

Subjects
*BIBLE films, *ETHICS, *HORROR films
Abstract

Jordan Peele's horror movie, Us, takes moral ambiguity to its logical extreme by creating a world, or, rather, two worlds, in which good and evil mirror each other on multiple planes—the narrative, the visual, the spatial, the racial, the ethical—and by its use of a biblical verse—Jer 11:11. The Wilsons, who inhabit "our" world, view the "Tethered", who inhabit a nether world, as evil insofar as they have emerged from the shadows to terrorize and kill them. The Tethered, however, view the humans as evil, insofar as they take for granted the ability to enjoy and act in the world. Like the prophet Jeremiah, the film draws the audience's attention to its own iniquity—and the consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. The Hermeneutics of Chutzpah: A Disquisition on the Value/s of "Critical Investigation of the Bible".

Author

REINHARTZ, ADELE

Subjects
*CHRISTIAN biblical hermeneutics, *BIBLICAL criticism, *AFRICAN American religions
Abstract

In this address, I argue that the value of the Society of Biblical Literature as a learned society and a scholarly community must be measured not by the experiences of those who flourish but by those who struggle. To live up to our own values, and to be of value to society at large, we must commit to equity and justice; we must engage in our teaching and scholarship with a spirit of collegiality, collaboration, and openness to change. To do so we must be accountable to one another as scholars and as human beings. As one way forward, I suggest a "hermeneutics of chutzpah" that challenges the norms of biblical scholarship that were developed in Europe of the eighteenth through twentieth centuries. One model for this hermeneutical mode can be found in African American biblical interpretation. The hermeneutics of chutzpah exercised by African American scholars benefits other marginalized people as well as those who have traditionally situated themselves at the core of our guild by helping us all to perceive the workings of whiteness, and to engage more honestly with the deep structures of our intellectual enterprise.

8. Jesus of Hollywood.

Author

Reinhartz, Adele

Subjects
*JESUS Christ in motion pictures, *ANTISEMITISM
Abstract

The author places the recently released film, "The Passion of the Christ," in the context of other cinematic representations of the crucifixion of Christ. Observers of the controversy over Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ would be forgiven for believing that this is the first film ever to treat the last twelve hours of Jesus's life, but in the century or more since the birth of cinema, the betrayal, the trials, the condemnation, and the death of Jesus have been brought to life on the screen in well over a hundred films. Nor does Gibson's film mark the first occasion that Jewish leaders and other public figures have raised their voices in protest against the potential anti-Semitism of a film rendition of Jesus's Passion. Most movies about Jesus explicitly claim to be faithful to the Gospels. But if they are to be true to this claim, they will necessarily convey the same message that is embedded in the Gospel accounts: that while Pilate officially signed the crucifixion order, it was the Jews who held, and perhaps still hold, moral responsibility for Jesus's death. So where does Mel Gibson fit in? Like most of the Jesus films, it draws from all four Gospels.But there are some ways in which Gibson's film diverges from the pack. Its characters speak Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. More important, the main theme is Jesus's suffering. The details of this violence far exceed the literary depictions in the Gospels; they are the expression of Gibson's own imagination of what mattered most in the scene. If the question is, do these films help to perpetuate certain beliefs and stereotypes that have been implicated in anti-Semitism, then the answer must be yes, Gibson's film included.

11. „E.T. nach Hause telefonieren“: Exil und Gender in Erzählungen der nachexilischen Zeit.

Author

Reinhartz, Adele

Abstract

This essay examines the role of gender in the apocryphal novels of Greek Esther, Susanna, and Judith, by means of comparison with the 1982 Steven Spielberg movie E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. Just as E.T’s E.T-ness – his identity as an alien non-human creature exiled on planet earth – is central to the story of his exile, so too is the femaleness of Esther, Judith and Susanna germane to the stories of exile that their stories recount. The argument is structured around four points: the exilic setting; the role of the “alien”; the phone call, and the message, and will conclude with some reflections on the role of gender in stories about exile.

Author

Reinhartz, Adele

Subjects
*KENOSIS (Theology), *INCARNATION, *JEWS, *TRAUMATOLOGY
Abstract

Despite the distance in time and space that separates twenty-first century readers from the people in biblical stories, our own everyday experience equips us to understand these events as traumas. In this essay, trauma theory will be applied to illuminate the much-contested process by which the Johannine community developed an identity different from, and in opposition to, the Jews among whom they apparently lived.

17. 'Rewritten Gospel': The Case of Caiaphas the High Priest.

Author

Reinhartz, Adele

Subjects
*RELIGIOUS studies, *THEOLOGY
Abstract

Although the term 'rewritten Bible' has been used primarily of postbiblical Jewish retellings of the Hebrew Bible, the phenomenon which it describes extends to the present day, and pertains to the NT as well as the Hebrew Bible. This paper examines two examples of 'rewritten Gospel'-Dorothy Sayers's play cycle, The Man Born to Be King (1941-2) and Sholem Asch's novel, The Nazarene (1939)-in order to argue that such postcanonical Jesus narratives should be of interest to NT scholarship just as 'rewritten Bible' is of interest to scholars of the Hebrew Bible.

19. History and Pseudo-History in the Jesus Film Genre.

Author

Reinhartz, Adele

Subjects
*RELIGIOUS films, *INFLUENCE of motion pictures, *BIBLE films, *CHRISTIANITY
Abstract

Movies in the Jesus film genre often claim to be not only faithful renditions of their texts—the New Testament Gospels—but also accurate representations of the person, words and deeds of the historical Jesus himself. More fundamentally, they also presume a tight connection between historicity and faith. A viewer who learns about the historical Jesus through these films, they suggest, will have his or her faith forever strengthened. The irony is that whereas the Gospels have inspired profound ideas and beliefs that have shaped Christian spiritually through the two millennia since Jesus' lifetime, their transformation on the silver screen almost always results in a superficial, shallow, simplistic representation of Jesus, his life and his significance for humankind. While almost every Jesus movie has its moments of grace and artistry, most of them plod through the story even as they claim to bring to life both the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. This paper explores two films—Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and Denys Arcand's Jesus of Montreal (1989)—that break out of this pattern, and in doing so mount a fundamental and explicit challenge to the links between scripture, history and faith. Paradoxically, this challenge allows them a more profound and nuanced exploration of Christian faith than can be found in most other films of this genre. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
