| Summary: | The link between theology and film is one made in academic corridors only fairly recently. Therefore it is to be expected that a number of "introductory" issues need to be taken care of. In this volume the authors do exactly that, however in the process they also produced a volume reflecting the scope and depth this discipline has attained in the decade or two since its inception. The lasting impression one is left with after reading through this wide-ranging volume is that the discussion on theology and film opens up new and exciting inter-disciplinary avenues for biblical scholars to explore. In film studies we come face to face with modern cultures in their diversity and inter-connectedness. This volume brings together "scholars, church leaders and film makers to share ideas and to strategize on the discipline of theology and film" (p. 9). In the introduction (pp. 15-26) Johnston gives a good overview of the aim and scope of the volume. |
