L. Joseph Kreitzer, Pauline Images in Fiction and Film: On Reversing the Hermeneutical Flow (Sheffield [England]: Sheffield Academic Press, 1999).

Abstract

"This is Dr. Kreitzer's third study in the Biblical Seminar Series in which the connections between biblical texts, classic works of literature, and cinematic interpretations of those works of literature are explored. The aim is to illuminate both the New Testament texts and facets of contemporary culture through a cross-disciplinary approach. The studies discuss a wide variety of theological themes, including shipwreck and salvation, eschatology, eucharistic imagery, and liberation and slavery."--Publisher description.
