A scholarly reference work edited by John C. Lyden, published by Routledge in 2009, gathering contributions that survey religion and film as a field of study: the history of the two interacting, how the world's major religions and newer religious movements are depicted within film, the methodologies scholars bring to that depiction, psychoanalytic, theological, feminist and audience reception approaches among them, and recurring religious themes that surface across the medium, redemption, the demonic and Christ figures among them.
