"Ortiz and Deacy offer a singularly rich analysis of the ways
that theology and film interlace. Using Niebuhr's Christ and
Culture as an interpretive model, they put their fingers on the
theological pulse of thousands of contemporary and classic, pop and
art films with stunningly insightful success. Their command of both
film language and divergent currents in contemporary theology
allows them to respect each film as an artistic work in its own
right which illuminates issues such as violence, women's rights,
the environment, and apocalyptic discourse. I highly recommend this
thoughtful book for classroom use and just plain reading pleasure."

"It should hold much relevance for film students interested in theology, and vice versa, as it offers a range of challenging ideas and perspectives on the subject." M/C Reviews
