Book Presentation:
Movies which have drawn inspiration from the Bible, either directly or indirectly, have been extremely popular since the earliest days of cinema. Bible and Cinema: Fifty Key Films introduces a wide range of those movies, which are among the most important, critically-acclaimed and highest-grossing films of all time, including:
The King of Kings Ben-Hur The Passion of the Christ Frankenstein
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2001: A Space Odyssey Apocalypse Now Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
Written by a team of international scholars, the fifty entries discuss the Biblical stories, characters or motifs depicted in each film making this book the ideal guide for anyone interested in the long-standing relationship between the Bible and film.
