Product Description
Review
'This is a genuinely useful addition to the maturing literature on religion and film. The imaginative selection of readings makes this book an invaluable resource that will broaden and deepen the insights of students and researchers in this field. This will undoubtedly become a key text for any serious course exploring the various ways in which religion and film intersect.' – Gordon Lynch, Professor of Sociology of Religion, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
'[There is a lot to think about here], and it is just a micro-sample of all that is to be found in this milestone collection.' – Project Muse (Scholarly Journals Online)
'Jolyon Mitchell and S. Brent Plate ... consistently stress the historical depth, the geographical spread and the sheer critical complexity that marks reflection on the relationship between religion and film. ... In conclusion, this is a highly intelligent and thought-provoking collection of work exploring the relationship between religion and film ...[T]his eclecticism is also one of the volume's main strengths for it constantly throws up new and challenging ways of thinking about religion and film, and for this reason alone, I would warmly recommend this book to scholars seeking a way into this field or looking for a course reader for their students.' – David Murphy, University of Stirling, Literature and Theology, 23(2)
