Bible and Cinema: Fifty Key Films (2013) is a volume edited by Adele Reinhartz.

Abstract

"Movies which have drawn inspiration from the Bible, either directly or indirectly, have been extremely popular since the earliest days of cinema. Bible and Cinema: Fifty Key Films introduces a wide range of those movies, which are among the most important, critically-acclaimed and highest-grossing films of all time, including: The King of Kings, Ben-hur, The Passion of the Christ, Frankenstein, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Ten Commandments, Apocalypse Now, Dogma. Written by a team of international scholars, the fifty entries discuss the Biblical stories, characters or motifs depicted in each film making this book the ideal guide for anyone interested in the long-standing relationship between the Bible and film."--Publisher description.
