Description
The stories of the Bible have been inspiring filmmakers for over 120 years. From the first silent passion play in 1897 to the latest adaptations, these films have captivated audiences and sparked debate. This comprehensive guide explores the wide range of biblical films, from classic epics to innovative TV adaptations. With richly illustrated images and a detailed history of the screen's negotiation between art, commerce, entertainment, and religion, 100 Bible Films provides an authoritative yet accessible account of this diverse output. The book covers significant films made by renowned directors such as Martin Scorsese, Jean Luc Godard, and Luis Buñuel, as well as lesser-known productions that explore faith or share it with a global audience. Through its pages, Matthew Page examines the complex relationships between art, commerce, entertainment, and religion in biblical film. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of biblical adaptations on screen.
