Description

Divine Film Comedies creates a meaningful dialogue between stories in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament and comedies spanning the history of film.

The text lies at the intersection of three disciplines: humor/comedy studies, film studies, and theology.

Drawing on films from the silent era to the 21st century, the book highlights parallels between comedic sub-genres and sacred narratives, parables, and proverbs, illuminating a path to seeing and understanding both Scripture and film through a comic lens.

The book will be of interest to students and scholars of theology and film, media, and communications.
