Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

Join us for a celebratory book launch of the Routledge Companion to Religion and Film, 2nd Edition. The editor and contributing authors will share the distinctive approaches featured in this volume. This roundtable will highlight selected chapters, offering a preview of its innovative scholarship for academics, educators, and students in the field. Expanding from the first edition, the companion presents theoretically sophisticated and contextually grounded analyses across a diverse range of films and issues. It examines global cinema reflecting varied cultures and religions (Abrahamic, African, Asian, Atheist, Native American, Pagan), employs multiple methodologies, and considers film production. This volume is a valuable resource for teachers and scholars. The launch includes a raffle for the book.
