Covering the historical period from 1908 to 1925, this study
showcases pamphlets, magazine articles (from both religious and
film periodicals), sermons, and other discourse that chronicle an
early vision of church/photoplay cooperation and its subsequent
dissolution with the advent of growing suspicion, Hollywood
scandals, Sabbatical reform movements, and alternative
communication technologies. This collection of documents challenges
the enduring fiction that the Church was hostile to the moving
picture at its inception; rather, the Church sought to appropriate
its potential for evangelism, education, and social reform. Divided
into four chronological sections, the study traces the process of
religious response to film as a prophetic vision, a series of great
debates, the articulation of film as a handmaiden to church work,
and the great divorce of church and cinema, culminating in a
religious posture and emphasis on rigid censorship rather than
creative dialogue.
