Bible and Film: The Basics is a concise, accessible, and
illuminating introduction to the study of Bible and Film. The book
introduces non-specialists to the essential content in Bible and
Film, and to some of the most common and important methods Bible
and Film scholars use. Questions asked throughout the book include:
How do films (re)interpret and illuminate biblical texts? How do
films appropriate, reconfigure, and transform biblical texts? How
does a film's treatment of biblical texts help interpret and
illuminate the film? This book examines various types of interplay
between film and the Bible. The theme of 'Bible on film' is
explored through Hebrew Bible epics including The Prince of Egypt
and Noah, and Jesus films such as The Last Temptation of Christ and
Son of Man. The theme 'Bible in film' is analyzed through films
including Mary Magdalene, Magnolia, Pulp Fiction, and The Book of
Eli. Films that 'reimagine the Bible' include Ex Machina, mother!,
and The Tree of Life; unusual Jesus figures in Pan's Labyrinth,
Dogville, and Donnie Darko are also explored. 'Film as Bible'
considers films such as To the Wonder, Silence, and Parasite. A
conclusion examines television shows such as Dekalog, The West
Wing, The Handmaid's Tale, and God on Trial. With a glossary of key
terms and suggestions for further reading throughout, this book is
an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a full introduction to
religion and film, bible and film, bible and popular culture, and
theology and film.
