Abstract

Forced isolation is rarely a good thing. Throughout human history, isolation has been a cardinal expression of punishment. Even a brief consideration of our literature and film arts will reveal our obsession with this dangerously powerful condemnation: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Great Escape, The Shawshank Redemption-isolations of imprisonment and social exclusion. Traditionally, the church's strongest sentence, excommunication, has been the isolation of an individual by exclusion from communion at the Lord's table. Their membership in the community is revoked-they are dismembered from the Body.

The bible also depicts some vital images of isolation. Consider the man in Mark 5, whose demons Jesus sends into the pigs to drown in the lake. Before meeting Jesus, the man lives away from the town, out among the mountains and tombs where he howls with demonic torment. After Jesus has cast out the legion of demons, he tells the man not to follow him into his boat, but rather to return to the man's friends in town and share the news.
