Description

"Focusing on American major-release films since World War II, the authors show how films use religious imagery, characters, and symbolism from primarily Christian, but also Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. Ideal for classroom use, each chapter analyzes significant contextual issues through the lens of select films. Films include: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, When Worlds Collide, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Quo Vadis; The Robe, The Ten Commandments, King of Kings; Jesus Christ, Superstar, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Passion of Christ, The Exorcist, The Omen, Close Encounters of The Third Kind, Agnes of God, The Apostle, The Natural, Field Of Dreams, Little Buddha, The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Chosen, The Quarrel, Destiny, My Son the Fanatic."--Jacket.
