It is organized into sections examining the rich cinematic afterlives of selected characters from the Hebrew Bible and New Testament; considering issues of biblical reception across a wide array of film genres, ranging from noir to anime; featuring directors, from Lee Chang-dong to the Coen brothers, whose body of work reveals an enduring fascination with biblical texts and motifs; and offering topical essays on cinema’s treatment of selected biblical themes (e.g., lament, apocalyptic), particular interpretive lenses (e.g., feminist interpretation, queer theory), and windows into biblical reception in a variety of world cinemas (e.g., Indian, Israeli, and Third Cinema). This handbook is intended for scholars of the Bible, religion, and film as well as for a wider general audience.Handbooks of the Bible and Its Reception (HBR)Bible filmsHistory and criticismMotion picturesReligious aspectsElectronic books.Bible filmsHistory and criticism.Motion picturesReligious aspects.791.436822BC 6220rvkBurnette-Bletsch RhondaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467145103321The Bible in motion2463792UNINA
