For most of the first six decades, the portrayals were favorable and even reverential. By contrast, from 1970 on, Christians-and especially Catholics-have often been treated with hostility and sometimes outright ridicule. This book explores the shift through in-depth reviews and commentaries on over 100 important films, as well as briefer discussions of 75 additional films with Christian themes or characters.Christians in motion picturesChristianity in motion picturesChristians in motion pictures.Christianity in motion pictures.791.43/652827Dans Peter E1697715MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814369803321Christians in the movies4078649UNINA
