Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

“Miller’s Mad Max world is a striking achievement of immersive sound and cinematography, and Furiosa repeats the visceral impact of this world without abatement. The roar of engines, the burnt palette of the desert, and the constant clash of metal make the viewing experience a bombardment. Go see it on the big screen,” says Dr Peter Kline from St Francis College

"We have to want a future for the earth that extends beyond our lifetimes, and that question of wanting, of desire for the good of the earth that we will not be around to see or enjoy pushes us beneath the pragmatic exigencies we face into the realm of whatever sustains (or doesn’t) our engagement with them," (Dr Peter Kline, St Francis College)

Liturgy: Making God our home

“Liturgy, then, is not first and foremost about prayer books, or rituals, or religious spaces. All of these things are meant to make audible and visible a reality that is not captured or exhausted by any of them, namely, God’s love for our embodied existence – for our flesh. The challenge of enacting liturgy is to make God’s love tangible amidst actual people and the concreteness of their lived lives,” says Dr Peter Kline from St Francis College

Keeping the irony in atonement

“So how do we talk about Jesus’ death in a way that keeps the irony necessary for a crucifixion to be good news? Perhaps we begin by leaving to one side all the theories and staying with the narratives in the gospels. The basic structure of those narratives is that Jesus returns from death and seeks out relationship with those who in one way or another participated in his death, starting with those most intimate to him,” says Dr Peter Kline from St Francis College
