Faith & Film IX - Rebel Without a Cause

Our three scripture passages today are John 14:8-11, Psalm 8:1-5, and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Ordinarily in a sermon like this, I would read them, then I'd do a three minute


In 1944 a psychologist named Robert Lindner wrote a book called "Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath," where he defined a psycopath as someone who is "incapable of exertions for the sake of others." While the book didn't really have a lot to do with the later movie of the same name, I think the film does attempt to make the point that while this emerging class of young people faced real and complex challenges, which could lead to delinquency and even tragedy, they were not, by and large, psychopaths. Despite the disturbing sequence of events in the film, I think it's incredibly optimistic.

Prior to the 1950s there was no such cultural concept as "adolescence." Teenagers were not a recognized group. One simply went from being a child, to being an adult--no ambiguous in between period where childhood and adulthood pulled a young person in both directions simultaneously. The great depression in the 1930s, followed by World War II in the 1940s began to change all that. Furthermore, World War II wreaked havoc on families, something I'll talk about a little later. Suffice it to say that "juvenile delinquency" was a growing concern in America at the time. This film was the first of its kind to address the issue in a realistic and sympathetic manner.

This was a reality of post-World War II America: Many fathers died in the war and never came home. Many of those who did were traumatized by war. During the war, many women entered into the workforce for the first time, leaving their children to be cared for by grandparents, and achieving a measure of independence that often resulted in family friction when their husbands returned. World War II wreaked havoc on the family unit, and called into question the very nature of what it meant to be a father in a family.

The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves.
