CINEMA DIVINITE: RELIGION, THEOLOGY AND THE BIBLE IN FILM; ED. BY ERIC S. CHRISTIANSON

The interdisciplinary study of theology and film requires a responsible engagement on the part of religious studies experts, biblical scholars and theologians, with film studies. Cinema Divinite first of all sets out various critical approaches to the study of film and theology such as formalism, expressionism, realism, textual analysis, contextual analysis, postmodern eclecticism, narrative criticism and cultural studies. The early chapters also look at concepts in film studies such as cinema spectatorship and the nature and application of film theory to theology. The book takes a case-study approach as it examines specific films, including The Godfather, Blade Runner, 0 Brother Where Art Thou?, specific filmmakers such as Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrik and Luis Bunuel, and finally genre, including everything from film noir to animantion and the western. The book closes with a discussion of The Passion of Christ.--From publisher's description.
