520 8 _a"Jewett selects ten major Hollywood movies that focus on the topic of shame - The Prince of Tides, Babette's Feast, Forrest Gump, Mr. Holland's Opus, Groundhog Day, Babe, Edge of the City, The Firm, Unforgiven, and The Shawshank Redemption - and interprets them in the light of what Saint Paul's letters say on the subject. Jewett's compelling analysis not only shows the cinema's unique capacity to unmask one of the deepest dilemmas of the human heart, but also offers the revolutionary view that the triumph of grace over shameful status, circumstances, and experiences lies at the heart of Paul's theology."--Jacket
