Reviews

Rindge's Profane Parables is an excellent work. It will appeal greatly to scholars of American Studies, film, religion, and popular culture.--Margaret Weber The Journal of Popular Culture Rindge writes with both academic rigor and an approachable tone, which makes the text accessible for audiences in both academic circles and broader spheres, such as those interested in American civil religion, the particular filmmakers Rindge cites, or the biblical genre of parables.--Joel Mayward Journal of Religion and Film A wonderful piece of work--Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club Choice
