The Religious FilmChristianity and the Hagiopic\nAuthor(s): Pamela Grace\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Wiley-Blackwell\nISBN-13: 9781405160254, 978-1405160254\nSynopsis\nGrace has theorized the religious film as elegantly as she has written it history. And what a history! From early, simple stories to Mel Gibsons grily Passion of the Crist.\n KRIN GABBARD, AUTHOR OF PSYCHIATRY AND THE CINEMA\n\nLush, vaguely liturgical music floods the theater. A sonorous offscreen male voice slowly articulates the words, And it was written... or In the year.... On the screen, clouds mysteriously separate and a semi-transparent figure appears in the sky this is the religious film.\n\nConventional films about religious heroes are instantly recognizable, and average film-goers can easily identify the most common sounds and images and, more significantly, the values that most traditional films of this kind uphold: unquestioning faith, chastity, virtuous.
