520 "Between the advent of motion pictures in the 1890s and
the close of the 'silent' era at the end of the 1920s,
many of the longest, most expensive and most watched films
on both sides of the Atlantic drew upon biblical
traditions. David J. Shepherd traces the evolution of the
biblical film through the silent era, asking why the Bible
attracted early film makers, how biblical films were
indebted to other interpretive traditions, and how these
films were received. Drawing upon rarely seen archival
footage and early landmark films of directors such as
Louis Feuillade, D.W. Griffith, Michael Curtis and Cecil
B. DeMille, this history treats well-known biblical
subjects including Joseph, Moses, David and Jesus, along
with lesser-known biblical stars such as Jael, Judith and
Jephthah's daughter. This book will be of great interest
to students of Biblical studies, Jewish studies and film
studies"--|cProvided by publisher.
