The medical profession is rich in those who have made names for
themselves outside of medicine. The fields of literature,
exploration, business, sport, entertainment, and beyond abound with
doctors whose interests lie outside medicine. This book, largely
written by members of the medical profession, examines the efforts
of doctors in non-medical fields. The doctors discussed here are
those who are, or were, well-known to the public for their
contributions to their non-medical fields of choice. In many cases,
the public may have been unaware that a subject was medically
qualified. This book provides wide-ranging and comprehensive
biographical sketches of forty-two doctors who are best known to
the public for their contributions to fields outside of medicine.

Christians in the Movies traces the arc of the portrayal in film of
Christians from 1905 to the present. For most of the first six
decades, the portrayals were favorable and even reverential. By
contrast, from 1970 on, Christians have often been treated with
hostility and often outright ridicule. This book explores this
shift through in-depth reviews and commentaries on 100 important
films, as well as briefer discussions of about 75 additional
Christian-themed films. Peter E. Dans examines various causative
factors for this change such as the abolition of the Hays Motion
Picture Production Code, the demise of the Catholic Legion of
Decency, and the associated profound societal and cultural changes.
From a look at the real story behind the Scopes trial to portraits
of actors, directors and writers most prominently associated with
films involving Christians and Christianity, Christians in the
Movies provides a great resource for those who wish to select films
for showing at churches, universities or for personal viewing and
critical examination of the recent cultural movements and thought.
