Description
"Scripture on the Silver Screen offers all students of scripture - whether in an academic classroom or at home - an inviting new way to further their biblical literacy. By exploring the ways the Bible and its contents are appropriated in popular movies, Adele Reinhartz implores her readers toward discerning instances of the "Hollywood Hermeneutic," where the Bible is often used as a prop, from movies that have successfully integrated the Bible as a plot-making device. Each chapter begins with a discussion on the focal Bible passage, placing it in its literary and historical context, followed by a summary of the film and its main themes."--Jacket.
