For this fourth edition of the annual, guest editor David Tollerton has commissioned pieces specifically on the use of the bible in one film: Exodus: Gods and Kings and these chapters consider how the film uses the bible, and how the bible functions within the film.

Press Reviews:
"The return of the 'Bible epic' to our screens … coincides with recent scholarly interest in the Bible in Film … and this absorbing volume by a group of UK- and Ireland-based scholars addresses some of the issues raised by the phenomenon." ―Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
"A very readable and even collection of essays that well-demonstrate the present quality of conversation in the bible and film, with suggestions of where to further that conversation in a profitable dialog with other fields in the humanities." ―Reading Religion
