The first edition of John Lyden's Film as Religion forced us
to change the very terms of the conversation about religion and
film. This second edition reminds us that this is an ongoing
conversation, and that there is still much to consider. Once again,
Lyden proves that he is one of the most important voices in the
academic study of religion and film. * Eric Mazur, Editor,

Most noteworthy is Lyden's emphasis on war films, particularly in
light of the cultural mind-set of the war on terror. His critical
insights on how film functions as religion continue to provoke and
inspire. * Choice *
