Lisa Maurice examines screen portrayals of gods - covering
Greco-Roman mythology, the Judeo-Christian God and Jesus - from the
beginning of cinema to the present day. Focussing on the golden age
of the Hollywood epic in the fifties and the twenty-first century
second wave of big screen productions, she provides an over-arching
picture that allows historical trends and developments to be
demonstrated and contrasted. Engaging with recent scholarship on
film, particularly film and theology as well as classical
reception, she considers the presentation of these gods through
examination of their physical and moral characteristics, as well as
their interaction with the human world, against the background of
the social contexts of each production.
