"Images of the Word: Hollywood's Bible and Beyond" is a collection
of essays by leading international scholars in the field of Bible
and film. Recognizing the increasingly global nature of both media
and religion, the volume focuses on the ways in which the Bible is
interpreted and visualized not only within Hollywood but also far
beyond it. Cutting-edge analysis of films from France, Canada,
Sweden, India, and elsewhere reveals that the Bible's visualization
is culturally rooted and contributes to the shaping of a particular
culture, including its perception of the Bible itself.Essays range
across the canon from "Exodus" to "Ecclesiastes" to "Revelation",
interacting with films of various national traditions and periods
from Blackton's "Life of Moses" (1909) to "Karunamayudu" (1978) to
Cronenberg's "eXistenZ" (1999). The volume engages the breadth of
current scholarly interest in this interdisciplinary field,
including the critical reading of 'Bible films', the exploration of
biblical motifs and themes within contemporary cinema, and
concluding responses to the essays from both a biblical scholar and
a film scholar. Paperback to this edition is available from the
Society of Biblical Literature.
