The Challenge of the Silver Screen: an analysis of the cinematic portraits of Jesus, Rama, Buddha and Muhammad By Freek L. Bakker
Publisher: BRILL 2009 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 9004168613 | PDF | 2 MB


Th is book is the result of a project that began in August 2003. My research proved to be an interesting journey through four of the world’s great religions. I saw new, remarkable and oft en also beautiful images, and I also encountered attractive and sometimes complicated theories. Meanwhile, the journey yielded unexpected new insights into all four of these religions. Th ose with a reputation for being strict turned out to be more fl exible while those reputed to be tolerant proved to be decidedly less so. Meanwhile, a broad spectrum developed of images depicting how the divine, how God, was expressed in human form. Th e journey became a surprise that I gladly welcomed. I would like to thank the directors of Centre IIMO and the Department of Th eology of the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University for giving me the opportunity to conduct this research and for helping me to fi nd the necessary funding. I would also like to thank Henry Jansen for improving the English text—a task that was not always easy. Finally, I am grateful to both Regine Reincke and Maarten Frieswijk for the assistance they provided me on behalf of the publisher. Freek L. Bakker
