Has Anybody Here Seen My Old Friend Jesus?: Christian Movies in a Christian Country
Beck, Bernard
Multicultural Perspectives, v7 n1 p26-29 Jan 2005
If America is culturally diverse by history and habit, it is religiously diverse by design and by law. Although religion may be the strongest form of shared culture, and although people refuse to have any official religious establishment, they are surprisingly reluctant to celebrate that form of diversity anymore. In this article, the author takes a look at how movies portray the Christian religion.
