Religion in the Cinema

New York: Barnes (1969), 208 pp.
"Surveys the treatment of Biblical history and Christian practice in the commercial film, from the layman's point of view. As the author says in his Introduction, it is "a study of religion in films rather than films in religion." Only the Christian religions are represented, although there are chapters on witchcraft and Satanic rites. A few foreign films are included An appendix lists organizations and church groups which make or sponsor films or religious content. Select bibliography and index of films." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 1189)
