"Chris Deacy is a theologian who knows how to look at film. This is among the best books yet published that evidences a robust two-way dialogue between serious theology and Hollywood films. I will use Screening the Afterlife as I reflect on how best to teach eschatology." - Robert K. Johnston, author of Useless Beauty and Professor of Theology and Culture, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA
"This is a book that all biblical scholars, theologians, and philosophers could find very useful for their forays into eschatological theorising, because film may be more meaningful than theological teachings for many people in their reflections on and belief in the afterlife." – Gaye Williams Ortiz, Augusta State University, USA in Journal of Contemporary Religion
Christopher Deacy is Senior Lecturer in Applied Theology at the University of Kent, UK. His books include Screen Christologies (2001), Faith in Film (2005) and Theology and Film (2008).
