Abstract
This volume showcases how a variety of approaches from film studies and
cultural studies can be used in the visual analysis of biblical and religious
themes, narratives, and characters in cinema. It is the first volume specifically
to address issues of methodology, theory, and analysis in the study of Bible
and film. As such, this collection will be of interest not only to scholars in film
studies but also to those in theology, religion, and biblical studies who seek to
conduct interdisciplinary research in the expanding field of religion and film. The
contributors are George Aichele, Laura Copier, Michelle Fletcher, Larry Kreitzer,
Tarja Laine, Abigail Pelham, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, Jeremy Punt, Matthew S.
Rindge, Robert Paul Seesengood, David J. Shepherd, Jeffrey L. Staley, Caroline
Vander Stichele, Richard Walsh, and Reinhold Zwick.
