Religion on the American movie screen
Centered on American major-release films made since World War II, this introduction examines how cinema draws on religion as a storytelling and meaning-making resource. It traces the use of religious imagery, symbols, and characters, with particular attention to Christian traditions alongside Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, and Islamic references. Chapters pair selected films with contextual questions, framing the subject as an exploration of how popular movies communicate ideas through religious material. The book’s classroom-oriented structure makes it a focused starting point for discussing film, culture, and religion together.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and instructors in film, religion, or popular-culture courses
