The first decades of the twenty-first century saw a resurgence of
the biblical epic film, such as Noah and Exodus: Gods and Kings,
which was in turn accompanied by a growth of biblical film
criticism. This companion surveys that field of study by framing it
in light of significant and recent biblical films as well as the
voices of key biblical film critics. Non-Hollywood and seemingly
"non-biblical" films also come under investigation. The
contributors concentrate on three points: "context", focusing on
the 'Bible in' specific film genres and cultural situations;
"theory", applying theory from both religion and film studies, with
an eye to their possible intersections; and "recent and significant
texts", reflecting on which texts and themes have been most
important in 'biblical film' and which are currently at the fore.
Exploring cinema across the globe, and accompanied by extended
introductory essays for each of the three sections, this companion
is an important resource for scholars in both film and biblical
reception.
