{"product_id":"9780708317129","title":"Screen Christologies: Redemption and the Medium of Film","description":"Screen Christologies takes a new and radical look at the mass media as a source of religious study. It looks at the ways in which the Christian concept of redemption has been represented in films from \u003ci\u003eIt's a Wonderful Life\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eTaxi Driver\u003c\/i\u003e.  Concentrating on film noir and the work of Martin Scorsese, the book argues that the themes of alienation and redemption through violence, destruction, and sin characteristic of the noir genre demonstrate that cinema confronts issues and themes that are distinctly religious. This is a book for scholars, students, and all those interested in film and theology and their place in the broader contexts of Christianity and contemporary culture.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Christopher Deacy is Leverhulme Research Fellow in the department of theology and religious studies at the University of Wales, Lampeter. He is also the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Coming Deliverer\u003c\/i\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028347994352,"sku":"9780708317129","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780708317129_p0.jpg?v=1763622038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780708317129","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
