The Bible in Film, the Bible and Film By J. Cheryl Exum
2006 | 198 Pages | ISBN: 9004151907 | PDF | 1 MB
Exploring the interface between the Bible and film offers exciting opportunities for both biblical scholars and moviegoers alike. The eleven contributors to this provocative and wide-ranging collection deal critically and creatively both with films about the Bible and biblical characters, including the recent controversial The Passion of the Christ, and with a wide range of contemporary films in which biblical themes play a significant, and sometimes surprising, role. Originally published as issue 1-2 of Volume 14 (2006) of Brill’s journal Biblical Interpretation.
