Christians in the Movies traces the arc of the portrayal in film of
Christians from 1905 to the present. For most of the first six
decades, the portrayals were favorable and even reverential. By
contrast, from 1970 on, Christians have often been treated with
hostility and often outright ridicule. This book explores this
shift through in-depth reviews and commentaries on 100 important
films, as well as briefer discussions of about 75 additional
Christian-themed films. Peter E. Dans examines various causative
factors for this change such as the abolition of the Hays Motion
Picture Production Code, the demise of the Catholic Legion of
Decency, and the associated profound societal and cultural changes.
From a look at the real story behind the Scopes trial to portraits
of actors, directors and writers most prominently associated with
films involving Christians and Christianity, Christians in the
Movies provides a great resource for those who wish to select films
for showing at churches, universities or for personal viewing and
critical examination of the recent cultural movements and thought.
