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.

"Here is a fine collection of essays full of rich detail,
engaging insights, and provocative suggestions. The impressive cast
of authors points beyond many of the usual frames of study,
offering original perspectives and new approaches. Without
exception, the chapters make a valuable contribution to ongoing
dynamic conversations. This is a 'must-read' for anyone with an
interest in film and theology." --Jolyon Mitchell, senior lecturer,

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
