'This is a thoroughly intriguing book. Though I don't share its religious orientation, I love the way in which it recovers the sense that real audiences often report of the mysterious, the uplifting and the sometimes awesome experience of watching films.' -Martin Barker, Professor of Film and Television Studies, University of Wales, Aberystwyth 'Marsh is right! Popular movies do more than mindlessly entertain or illustrate truth already known... By considering the affective nature of the reader/viewer, Cinema and Sentiment explores the central point of connection between theology and film.' --Professor Robert K. Johnston, author of Reel Spirituality 'This is a timely contribution to the discussions around film and theology [and] will be valuable for students, academics, film buffs and other movie-goers.' -Jolyon Mitchell, New College, University of Edinburgh 'This books offers one of the clearest and most comprehensive defenses of the theological approach to film that has yet appeared.' -John Lyden, author of Film as Religion: Myths, Morals, and Rituals
