Book Description

The Continuum Companion to Religion and Film offers the definitive guide to study in this growing area. The book covers all the most pressing and important themes and categories in the field - areas that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research. Twenty-nine specifically commissioned essays from a team of experts reveal where important work continues to be done in the field and provide a map of this growing area. Featuring a series of indispensable research tools, including a detailed list of resources, chronology and diagrams summarizing content, this is the essential reference tool for anyone with an interest in the intersections between religion and film.
The Continuum Companions series is a major new series of single volume companions to key research fields in the humanities, aimed at postgraduate students, scholars and academic libraries. Each companion offers a comprehensive reference resource giving an overview of key topics, research areas, new directions and a manageable guide to beginning or developing research in the field. They offer a survey of current research and also give more practical guidance on advanced study and research in the chosen area, including research methods and subject-specific resources.
