Item Description...
Product Description
For a long time the portrayal of Christians in cinema had been largely favorable, depicted as characters of virtue and sympathy, but this changed markedly around 1970 when Christians began to find themselves portrayed more frequently as villains and Christianity openly mocked on the silver screen. Reviewing nearly 175 films from 1905 to 2007, Peter E. Dans explores this shift, examining the roots of these disparate portrayals from the abolition of the Hays Code to the demise of the Legion of Decency, and the associated profound societal and cultural changes that took place in the later decades of the twentieth century.
