About this product
Product Information
Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ arguably generated more resistance and conflict upon its release than any film before or since, engendering intense debate and even hatred between religious conservative protesters and liberal progressive defenders of the picture. This is the first full examination of the controversy, its participants, and their claims concerning the film's religious meaning. This debate reflects deep levels of social and cultural insecurity produced by the shifting role of religion and religious language in an increasingly secularized society, and demonstrates how a popular film about Jesus captured, inflamed, and strengthened existing animosities. Providing new insights into film's significance as an indicator of the changing relationship between secular and religious domains, the work offers a thorough and fascinating historical analysis of the various interpretations of Last Temptation and its reception.

Reviews
"Film, Faith, and Cultural Conflict offers an utterly absorbing account of the reception history surrounding Scorsese's film. In seven deft and meticulous chapters Riley, an assistant professor of electronic media in the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, examines The Last Temptation of Christ for its historical origins, the intial causes for the controversy that surounded it, and the robust rhetoric employed by the different groups who reacted to it positively or negatively, according to religious persuasion."- Southern Humanities Review, "Riley presents a compelling case study of the religious and legal controversy created by Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ....The writing is refreshingly free of the jargon usually associated with these topics, and the book makes for an accessible, informative, and entertaining read for those interested in media law, communication theory, media and society, media and religion, or film history. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers."

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
