The study of theology and film is fewer than three decades old.
What, then, does the future hold for this evolving subject? In
"Reframing Theology and Film," Robert Johnston has drawn together
more than a dozen scholars who regularly write and teach on the
topic; their contributions explore how the discipline of theology
and film can flourish and mature. The book also emphasizes the
overlooked and undervalued aspects of theology and film.

Ethics" and coeditor of "The Religion and Film Reader"
"In this single volume, the field of theology and film has
matured from infancy to adulthood. Robert Johnston has assembled a
top-notch group of scholars to set the stage for emerging
directions in the field. No future writing on the topic can ignore
the categories reframed by the contributors here." --S. Brent
