Movies which have drawn inspiration from the Bible, either directly or indirectly, have been extremely popular since the earliest days of cinema. Bible and Cinema: Fifty Key Films introduces a wide range of those movies, which are among the most important, critically-acclaimed and highest-grossing films of all time, including:

  • The King of Kings
  • Ben-Hur
  • The Passion of the Christ
  • Frankenstein
  • Close Encounters of the Third Kind
  • 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Apocalypse Now
  • Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

Written by a team of international scholars, the fifty entries discuss the Biblical stories, characters or motifs depicted in each film making this book the ideal guide for anyone interested in the long-standing relationship between the Bible and film.
