Recenzii
"A very important book. Lyden urges respect for how films actually function for people who watch them. He lays out an insightful and compelling case for considering film-watching a religious activity. In so doing, he offers a major challenge to all those who discuss culture, religion and theology today. - Clive Marsh, co-editor of Explorations in Theology and Film"Lyden's book is well-written, insightful, and especially engaging for anyone who loves movies."Religious Studies Review "..offers several new perspectives on this increasingly popular and gradually more critical area. It also is wellsuited for the religious studies classroom. Lyden's writing is clear, and he nicely describes some of the more difficult theories of religion in ways that are accessible to undergraduates. In fact, the next time I teach my course "Myth and Ritual on Film" I will assign Film as Religion because of its analogizing methods of showing how film does indeed function as religion in contemporary U.S. culture."Journal of the American Academy of Religion "Lyden offers perceptive criticisms of some of the most influential ways of talking about myth."
Crisis Magazine Lyden has articulated a well-defined methodology that relies on some of the best resources religious studies can bring to the table." Film Quarterly "Lyden lays an imrpessive and sound foundation for his vision: to provide a systematic method for connecting religion and film studies. . . . This is truly significant, immensely compelling, and dynamically provocative work. Essential."
Choice“Lydens book gives a valuable overview of the state of research in this field as well as inspirational ideas for further study. Lydens theories offer important new perspectives for future debates.”
