T&T Clark Companion to the Bible and Film
Author: Richard Walsh
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Release Date: 2018-06-28
The first decades of the twenty-first century saw a resurgence of the biblical epic film, such as Noah and Exodus: Gods and Kings, which was in turn accompanied by a growth of biblical film criticism. This companion surveys that field of study by framing it in light of significant and recent biblical films as well as the voices of key biblical film critics. Non-Hollywood and seemingly “non-biblical” films also come under investigation. The contributors concentrate on three points: “context”, focusing on the 'Bible in' specific film genres and cultural situations; “theory”, applying theory from both religion and film studies, with an eye to their possible intersections; and “recent and significant texts”, reflecting on which texts and themes have been most important in 'biblical film' and which are currently at the fore. Exploring cinema across the globe, and accompanied by extended introductory essays for each of the three sections, this companion is an important resource for scholars in both film and biblical reception.
Hollywood and the Bible
Hollywood has been putting out Bible movies since the Silent Era. This amazing new book, "Hollywood and the Bible", is your guide for some of the most memorable Bible films from the past century. They're all in here, from the big-budget extravaganzas to the hopeful near-misses. Focusing on the Old Testament, but including a glossary of mostly all Biblical films ever made, this reference guide is a must-read for Bible movie aficionados. The main chapter, of course, is about DeMille's 1956 epic The Ten Commandments, the standard-bearer by which all other Bible movies are judged against. Many people only know of this Bible film, but it wasn't the first nor will it be the last. There are many other enjoyable Biblical movies, and this excellent book offers detailed analyses of the more important films of this genre. So relax and enjoy as you go back in time!
