This volume examines and discusses selected Bible documentaries and
academically informed dramatizations of the Bible. With a major
focus on recent productions in UK mainline television within the
past 15 years, the contributors also engage with productions from
the USA. After a critical introduction by Helen K. Bond, charting
and reflecting on the use of the Bible on television in recent
years, the book falls into three sections. First, a number of
influential filmmakers and producers, including Ray Bruce and Jean-
Claude Bragard, discuss their work in relation to the context and
constraints of television - especially religious television -
programming. The volume then moves to reflections of various
academics who have acted as 'talking heads', historical consultants
and presenters, allowing discussion of different aspects of the
process, including the extent to which they had influence and how
their contributions were used. Finally, a number of scholars assess
the finished products, discussing what they tell us about the
modern reception of the Bible, with additional consideration of how
these productions influence biblical scholars and contribute to the
scholarly agenda.

patronage and practice examines the challenges of modernity to the
development, understanding and practice of the traditions of

the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Included are studies of
traditions of art in India and Sri Lanka in the context of the
nineteenth century British Arts & Crafts Movement; the
production and consumption of block-printed cloth and other
textiles in western India; the impact of modern technology on the
mass reproduction of Hindu imagery; tradition and innovation in the
practice of bronze-casting and temple painting in south India; and

Islamic, in modern South Asia. The papers included are by a
distinguished group of eleven scholars and practitioners of
traditional arts from India, Pakistan, Britain and the United
States.
