John C. Lyden is the Liberal Arts Core Director and
Professor of Liberal Arts at Grand View University. He is the
author of Film as Religion, Second Edition: Myths, Morals, and
Rituals (NYU Press 2019), and the editor of the Journal of Religion
& Film as well as the Routledge Companion to Religion
and Film, among other books.
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, Encyclopedia of Religion and Film) 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)
