While Roman Catholicism's influence on film is well known, the corresponding influence of Protestantism is frequently ignored. This volume remedies that through attention to the ways in which Protestant themes and representation are expressed in films, as well as how Protestant filmmakers and audiences have contributed to the art form and its reception. A must read for anyone interested in the multiple ways in which Protestantism and film have interacted over the last century! * John Lyden, Blizek Professor of Religion and Film, University of Nebraska Omaha * In Protestants on Screen, an impressive transatlantic group of scholars offers engaging insights into the pivotal role of diverse Protestants groups have played in challenging, reforming, and promoting the film industry. Blending history and case studies, this volume advances the scholarship of religion and film and furnishes an indispensable foundation for future study. * Terry Lindvall, C. S. Lewis Professor of Communication and Christian Thought, Virginia Wesleyan University *
