Comprising 91 A-Z entries, this encyclopedia provides a broad and
comprehensive introduction to the topic of religion within film.
Technology has enabled films to reach much wider audiences,
enabling today's viewers to access a dizzying number of films that
employ diverse symbolism and communicate a vast array of
viewpoints. Encyclopedia of Religion and Film will provide such an
audience with the tools to begin their own exploration of the
deeper meanings of these films and grasp the religious significance
within. Organized alphabetically, this encyclopedia provides more
than 90 entries on the larger religious traditions, the major
film-producing regions of the globe, the films that have stirred
controversy, the most significant religious symbols, and the more
important filmmakers. The included topics provide substantially
more information on the intersection of religion and film than any
of the similar volumes currently available. While the emphasis is
on the English-speaking world and the films produced therein, there
is also substantial representation of non-English, non-Western film
and filmmakers, providing significant intercultural coverage to the
topic. Presents 91 A-Z entries that illuminate topics of geographic
and regional interest, biographic data, categories common in the
study of religion, and examinations of specific films or
film-related events Contains contributions from a remarkable group
of distinguished, well-published authorities and younger scholars,
all with relevant backgrounds in religion, film, culture, or
multiple areas of expertise Includes images of important film
directors as well as film stills Provides selected bibliographic
information regarding the intersection of religion and film that
supplements the "for further reading" section of each entry Offers
an indexed filmography of works noted throughout the encyclopedia,
providing significant information about each film, such as year
released, director, and major actors
