This collection of essays by biblical scholars is the first book-length treatment of the 2014 film Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky. The film has proved to be of great interest to scholars working on the interface between the Bible and popular culture, not only because it was heralded as the first of a new generation of biblical blockbusters, but also because of its bold, provocative, and yet unusually nuanced approach to the interpretation and use of the Noah tradition, in both its biblical and extra-biblical forms. The book's chapters, written by both well-established and... This collection of essays by biblical scholars is the first book-length treatment of the 2014 film Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Sculpture and Film
ISBN: 9781409419389 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This collection thus comprises the first rigorous exploration of the relationship between...
