Reviews

[T]he contributors to this series have done a service to the academic community by sharing their experiences as consultants to various Bible-related productions, a position that some of us may find ourselves in as such shows proliferate. For those of us who use such materials in the classroom, the chapters in the second half of the book provide a useful overview of productions that may be worthy of consideration. * Society of Biblical Literature * [A] easy and engaging study that those interested in the Bible and modern culture will want to read. * The Bible Today *
