Now that the CSL essay is finished, I’m creeping forward with my next project—a book with Cameron McAllister. The topic? Horror & theology. The title? Cinema Inferno: How Horror Movies Can Save Your Soul. Release date? Still a mystery, but the book is over halfway finished.

A prayer while standing in Home Depot during Halloweentide: 'Lord, show me my purchases that look as foolish in your eyes as a $300 front-yard wolfman looks in mine.'

Victims in haunting movies often have low social capital.

"For me, [horror] is the perfect genre for a person of faith to work in. You can think about good and evil pretty openly. I always talk about it being the genre of non-denial." decentfilms.com/articles/inter…

@cokenour After the leaden Adamson attempts, I'd welcome something that plays around a bit more. Though I typically favor unfaithful book adaptations. When the original is perfect, why try to copy it?

Enter Tim the Enchanter: "I told you, I told, I tried to warn you, but nooooo....it's just a harmless little bunny" There is a total failure to realize that faithful screen adaptations of great books is also art. There is no artistic virtue in our present cultural compulsion to reinterpret everything imaginative.

Can anyone think of instances where theologians have written about congregational singing? Either historic figures (Augustine, Calvin, etc), or contemporary figures. I’ve got lots of work by historians, worship scholars, but am light on theologians for a piece I’m working on
