The Routledge Companion to Religion and Film brings together a
lively and experienced team of contributors to introduce students
to the key topics in religion and film and to investigate the ways
in which the exciting subject of religion and film is developing
for more experienced scholars. Divided into four parts, the
Companion:
- analyzes the history of the interaction of religion and film,
through periods of censorship as well as appreciation of the
medium
- studies religion-in-film, examining how the world 's major
religions, as well as Postcolonial, Japanese and New Religions, are
depicted by and within films
- uses diverse methodologies to explore religion and film, such
as psychoanalytical, theological and feminist approaches, and
audience reception
- analyzes religious themes in film, including Redemption, the
Demonic, Jesus or Christ Figures, Heroes and Superheroes
- considers films as diverse as The Passion of the Christ, The
Matrix, Star Wars and Groundhog Day
This definitive Handbook provides an accessible resource to this
emerging field and is an indispensable guide to religion and film
for students of Religion, Film Studies, and beyond.
